1. Sensitive sense of smell: An elephant's nose has a sensitive sense of smell, and it can sense the smell around it, so as to judge the location of food, the distance of water source and the potential danger. This keen sense of smell enables elephants to find water in the dry season, and also enables them to survive in the food shortage environment.
2. Strong sense of touch: The elephant's nose is very sensitive and can sense the surrounding objects and environment. By using their noses, elephants can touch, grab and carry things, and even feel the emotions and behaviors of other elephants. This powerful sense of touch enables elephants to adapt to different environments and communicate and interact with other elephants.
Besides, the elephant's nose also helps to regulate body temperature, find water, clean up the body, communicate and other functions. For example, elephants can lower their body temperature by smelling, wash their bodies by absorbing water, find water by smelling, and establish contact and interaction by touching other elephants.
Elephant habits:
1, Social life: Elephants usually live in the form of family groups, which consist of several adult females, several sub-adult elephants and young elephants. The size of a family group depends on its habitat and food supply, and is usually between 10 and 20. Adult females in the family usually breed together and help each other take care of their young.
2, feeding habits: elephants are herbivores, mainly feeding on plants. They like to eat all kinds of leaves, grass, shrubs, bark and so on. Elephant's digestive system can effectively digest these plant fibers, and water and nutrients can be obtained during the digestion process.
3. Flexible nose: The elephant's nose is a very flexible organ, which can be used not only to smell, touch and grasp things, but also to carry things. The elephant's nose can be used to take food, drink water, take a bath and so on. It can even be used to communicate and interact with other elephants.
4. Social behavior: Elephants have very complicated social behaviors. They can communicate and establish contact with other elephants through sound, posture and smell. Elephants are closely related to each other and will help each other even in the face of danger.
5. Migration: When the habitat is suitable, elephants will migrate seasonally. They usually migrate to low-lying areas in the rainy season to find enough food and water. In the process of migration, elephants will pass through different territories and establish contact and interaction with other elephants.
