đ The worldâs strongest nose can deadlift 770 pounds (350 kg) and still pick up a tortilla chip without breaking it. An elephantâs trunk has about 40,000 muscles compared to roughly 650 in the human body. Itâs a muscular hydrostat, an organ without bones that supports itself through muscle fibers and water, like a snake tongue or an octopus arm. Because its volume stays constant, every movement in one direction is balanced by another. Smart. This living water-muscle marvel connects to the elephantâs head through a bony opening in the skull. A special proboscis nerve runs from the brain to the trunk, guiding its pinpoint movements and allowing elephants to eat, drink, smell, trumpet, and even touch with delicate precision. Now you nose.
