Elephus maximus

Asian elephants are found in forests, grasslands and thorn scrub jungles of the Indian subcontinent southeast into Thailand. Their trunks evolved from their upper lip and nose giving them great dexterity for pulling leaves, branches, tender shoots, and fruit off trees, bringing them into their mouths. Drinking, they use their trunks to suck up water and convey it to their mouths. These animal "paintings" were created with a computer. The original photograph was taken by Carol.
