Why Do Elephants Spray Water from Their Trunks? - Fun Facts for 7-Year-Old Kids

Have you ever seen an elephant spray water from its trunk? Elephants have very special noses called trunks, which they use like a long, strong hose!

Elephants spray water from their trunks for a few important reasons:

• To cool down: Elephants live in hot places, and spraying water on themselves helps them stay cool when it’s very warm outside.
• To clean themselves: They spray water to wash off dirt and dust from their skin.
• To have fun: Sometimes, elephants spray water just because they like it and it feels nice!

The elephant sucks water into its trunk like using a big straw, then quickly blows it out, spraying the water onto its body or sometimes even other elephants!

Isn’t that amazing? Elephants’ trunks are not just for smelling and grabbing things—they’re also great water sprayers!
