Elephant trunks
Elephants are the largest land mammals on Earth. Despite their superlative size, they have a remarkable ability to be gentle. Look no further than their trunks, which the animals can use to pick up chips intact, suck in water to bring to their mouths for drinking, or to cover themselves with dirt or mud. The trunk is made of pure muscle and is also a means of communication for elephants. It takes a special evolutionary adaptation to overshadow kite-like ears and their huge size, but the elephant trunk might just accomplish that.
