The elephant has adapted to the conditions of rainforests in many remarkable ways. It uses the trunk as a nose because of which it has a strong sense of smell.

So, the elephant is able to handle the competition for food rather well. The large ears of the elephant help it to hear even very soft sounds. They also help the elephant to keep cool in the hot and humid climate of the rainforest.
