minus-squareGenderIsOpSec [she/her]hexbear36·4 years agoAn elephant foot is unique. Look at the photo below and you’ll see a large pad sitting inside where the elephant’s heels are. That’s right, the largest mammal on earth walks on high heels. Elephant toes (the phalanges) rest upon a cartilaginous fatty pad. This is the reason why elephants leave almost no tracks; the enormous weight of the animal is spread out evenly. It also helps them walk very quietly! 🐘Coolest 🐘 Mammal🐘 By🐘Far🐘 link
