There are quite a few other animals with trunks (trunks = extended upper lip + snoot). And not all elephants (proboscideans) had trunks, the earliest didn't. But certainly elephants really went to town with their sniffers! 🐘 (pics: Wikipedia/dinopedia)

Cuvieronius was a strange, elephant-like animal related possibly to the mastodons, and probably lived in a variety of environments from chilly highlands, to warm jungles. It was well-known for its rather spiraled tusks unlike any other known proboscidean. Twisted!

Inspired by Easter Island Moai, Chowder (TV Show), and 's Yoshi's Story video.

WIP of a Monty plate for Truncated! I’m planning on doing a few of these at 18x24 for other proboscideans. Within, I tried a few new rendering styles in illustrator and photoshop.
