Hi there! Did you know that baby elephants use their trunks and skin to 'talk' with touch? Just like you might hug your mom or hold your friend's hand, baby elephants touch each other to show how they feel.

When a baby elephant is happy, it might gently rub its trunk on a friend or family member. If it feels scared or sad, it might hold onto its mom’s trunk to feel safe. Touch helps elephants tell stories without words!

Their trunks are very special because they can feel soft, rough, warm, or cold things. Baby elephants use their trunks to explore and say hello. So, touch is like a secret way for baby elephants to share their feelings with others.

Isn't that amazing? Just like you use hugs and hand-holding to show love and care, baby elephants use their trunks to do the same!
