Elephant (Loxodonta) Imagine being able to lift a one-ton weight with your face. Well, elephants can easily hoist about that much with their trunks. These long appendages are a combination of nose and mouth. Flexible and boneless, with a prehensile tip, elephant trunks serve many purposes: They can function as snorkels and hoses, forks and fingers, pokers and peanut-crackers. Elephants aren’t alone in their ability to do amazing things with their faces. The trap-jaw ant (Odontomachus bauri) can slam its jaws shut faster than you can drive a car down the freeway – between 75 and 140 miles per hour. In so doing, the ants create enough propulsive force to launch themselves into the air, sometimes landing more than 15 inches away. That’s like an average-size person enthusiastically chomping on a carrot and winding up 100 feet away. Image: Muhammad Mahdi Karim/WikimediaMuhammad Mahdi Karim
