Scientists use millions of foam lattice combinations to create a robotic elephant with a twisting trunk and jointed limbs.

A cheetah's powerful sprint, a snake's lithe slither, or a human's deft grasp: Each is made possible by the seamless interplay between soft and rigid tissues. Muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones ...

The quick-thinking elephant extended its trunk into the water to create a place for the gazelle to climb out. Unfortunately, the first rescue attempt didn’t work.

A baby elephant might emulate this with its trunk outside of feeding time. The behavior is reminiscent of their mothers, which provides comfort.
