How the elephant got his trunk. An illustration from Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories, in which he imagines how striking features of various animals came into being. Here the elephant’s nose is seen being stretched into a trunk as the elephant strains to escape when it is seized by a crocodile. (The actual title of the story is “The elephant’s child”)
