African elephants can store us to 9 liters of water in their trunks. The suction is 30 times faster than a human sneeze. This allows elephants to guzzle 3 liters of water a second. A new Georgia Tech study looked at how elephants use suction both on ground and underwater to get food. The findings could help roboticists develop better machines that use air to do their jobs.
