@brutamerica: This elephant got creative when something inside his ear didn't feel quite right. #Elephant #Nature #Cute #Animals

anon_skate :

Does he know q-tips just shove the ear wax deeper?

🍓 :

Animals are getting smarter while humans are getting dumber 😭😭

Tim :

someone tell him you're supposed to flush it

.Danti. :

These animals are getting smarter

Der Wolfen Baron :

Against doctor’s advice o course.

Tapia :

Can see that sigh of relief in its eyes

KennyMaykit :

And my ear Dr told me a Q-tip was bad to use. 🤔

🌺 :

Using tools or implements is a sign of very high intelligence. (Although you’re not supposed to stick anything into your ear; we have humans that do silly things too)

tropicaltropics19 :

She’s getting right in that itchy ear 😂.

monolithsmith :

Humans can help him out with a toilet brush maybe

Adib Siddiki :

Feel bad for animals. They might be experiencing the same discomfort as the rest of us, and even though us humans can help them, they can't communicate to us WHERE the discomfort is

✨Kay✨ :

They’re so intelligent

Miriam (manyfeathers) :

Wow incredible and amazing the adaptation of tools by creatures in the wild.

Bluejeanie :

I do think they are getting smarter. I never remember Nat Geo Way back in the day filming something like this. I’ve been watching nature documentaries all my life and I just think they’re getting smarter. I could be wrong. I’m not a pro.

The Elephant proboscis (trunk) is an extension of the upper lip and nose and has an estimate of over 100,000 muscles (human bodies have around 650) and tendons giving it extreme flexibility and strength. It’s capable of uprooting the trunk of fully grown tree and defending itself with a powerful blow of self-defense, as well as functions for; breathing, feeding, smelling, drinking, lifting, dusting, sound production/communication, defense, grasping and sensing. The tip of the trunk has 2 finger like projections that have very sensitive nerve endings they use for grasping tiny objects From the shape of its ears (smaller in size compared to the African Elephant) this is an Asian elephant, its trunk has only 1 finger like projection
