Gray in color but can lack pigmentation around the face, ears, and trunk (called
depigmentation) this can appear as spots or freckles. Uses dirt or mud to protect this massive
organ from sun damage and pesky bugs!
tail

A prehensile body part that contains thousands of muscles! Used to smell, breathe,
communicate, eat, drink, and grab things. Has a fingerlike projection at the end.
toes

Small, round-shaped and used to hear in low ranges even from great distances away. This
ears body part contains several thin blood vessels so when flapped, helps cool down the
elephant.

skin
Although smaller than that of an African elephant, this body part is still very large and holds a
9-13-pound brain.

trunk
There are 5 of these on each limb. On the bottom there is a thick, fibrous pad that absorbs
the impact of each step and can sense underground vibrations.
mouth

Since these are not extremely sharp, elephants heavily rely on their other senses of hearing,
smelling, and touch.
eyes

Used to swat away insects.
