Elephants have two nostrils in their trunks. They can also suck up water at a speed of three litres per second into their trunk and then blow it into the mouth.
Elephants can dilate their nostrils to create more space in their trunks, allowing them to suck up to nine litres of water.
The animal dilates its nostrils up to 30% and can inhale at speeds comparable to Japan’s bullet trains.
An elephant uses its trunk like a Swiss Army Knife: It can detect scents and grab things, other times blowing objects away like a leaf blower or sniffs them in like a vacuum.
