Baby´s trunk coordination: #baby elephant learning to feed??

• by MissTuk

  This baby elephant does not seem to know how to use his trump yet. It is not coordinated. Could it be that he stays under his mother's head to look and learn. beautiful picture!

  Sorry guys!! I have missed this discussion 😦

  It won´t happen again, now that we have a new elephant board 😃

  this infant does not coordinate its trunk (you mean trunk, right?), and this is very common in babies. They need some time to learn how to use it properly.
