Engineering in Nature
With their strong trunks, elephants can tear a tree out of the ground and carry it
along. Yet they can also perform tasks requiring the greatest sensitivity, such as
picking off the ground a small bunch of grass, or even a single pea. If the muscles
comprising the trunk numbered fewer than 50,000, it would not be this functional.
Almighty God, the Lord of the Worlds, has determined the number, location and
strength of the elephant's muscles.
