Description
A close-up of african elephant using its trunk to eat a doum palm nut in the wild buffalo springs national reserve, kenya. The doum palm nut is the fruit of the doum palm tree. Among the wild animals, it's a treasured treat by baboons, monkeys and elephants and only they are strong enough to crack it because it's actually a very hard fruit. Elephants, therefore, help with seed dispersal of the doum palm tree.

How wonderful! Perfectly displaying the flexibility and dexterity of the magnificent trunk!

Yes, I like how the tusks and trunk came together to make this work. I feel the doum palm nut was a nice ornamental feature! An elephant's trunk is a wondrous tool. Thank you for your support and selecting this as a favourite!
