What animal has the longest nose in the world? If you thought the elephant, you were right. The elephant's nose, called a trunk, is also the most useful nose in the world.
Just think of all the things the elephant uses its nose for. It uses it to sniff food, roll logs, and fight foes. When it is thirsty, the elephant can drink six quarts with one noseful. It also uses its nose for taking a bath.
The elephant's nose is boneless. This makes it soft and easy to bend. If it were not easy to bend, the elephant wouldn't be able to hold the little peanuts it loves to eat!
