What is Why Elephant has a Trunk (Tinga Tinga Tales) about?
Once upon a time, Elephant had a tiny, stubby nose and was very smelly because he couldn't wash himself. One day, a grumpy Crocodile snapped onto Elephant's nose, stretching it longer and longer. With the help of his friends, Elephant's nose transformed into a long, wiggly trunk. Now, he can swat flies, scrub himself clean, and trumpet loudly. Discover how Elephant's new trunk changed his life in this vibrant African tale.
