[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a formal salute to TN from a Corbett Elephant.

Did you know? In human terms the trunk represents the nose and upper lip with the two nostrils running through its full length.

Baron Cuvier, a great French naturalist, estimated that the trunk contained 40,000 muscles!! Amazingly, the entire human body only has 639 muscles. However, it is important to know that the elephants trunk actually only has 6 major muscle groups (not commonly known), which are subdivided into over 100,000 muscle units. So, Curvier's original estimate, although off by a bit, was correct when taking into account the groups of different muscles. These muscles are divided into two distinct sets of pairs.

A picture that speaks volumes about the happy state our elephants are in at the Park, Subhash.
All reports and coverages on Jim Corbett on TN suggest it is a well maintained and rich placw which I must visit as soon as possible.
Your picture of this happy elephant it really lovable.
Thanks and regards.
