Elephant s Trunk
According to the research released in the Journal of Royal Society Interface, the size of elephant s nostril and their lung capacity makes them capable of using their nearly 100kg trunks to grab objects with similar pressures as the human lung.
Co-author of the study from Georgia Tech College of Engineering in the US, David Hu, explained in a statement: An elephant makes use of its trunk like a Swiss Army knife. It can perceive scents and grab things. Other times it blows things away like a leaf blower or sniffs them in just like a vacuum.
