What this episode covers
How much do we know about how Elephant trunks work? It turns out, not that much - until now. New research gives a surprising amount of insight into how these incredible animals operate. Anthony and Jeff sort through the data and look for ways it can help humans, too. Then, there have been theories as to why the Northern Lights happen.
