Morphological characteristics of elephants

1. Elephant is a huge mammal with many unique morphological characteristics. First of all, the elephant is one of the largest mammals on land. Adult male elephants can be more than 4 meters tall and weigh up to 5 tons. Their bodies are huge, their limbs are stout, and they look very steady when they walk.

Secondly, elephants have a very flexible long nose, also called "trunk". This nose can be bent and stretched, and the length can reach more than 2 meters. Elephants use their noses to absorb water, eat, communicate and protect themselves. When foraging, elephants roll food into their mouths with their noses.

In addition, elephants also have a pair of big ears, which can be used to dissipate heat and enhance hearing. Their ears can be opened to form a fan to help them stay cool in hot weather. Finally, elephants have thick skin, which can protect them from harm. There are many wrinkles and textures on their skin, which make them look very rough.
