Twisting the distal portion or tip of the trunk back and forth. Most often observed in situations where an elephant is apprehensive or unsure of what action to take.
A 4 year old male calf from the C family is walking along and then pauses as if considering something. He turns around and goes back some distance and then begins Trunk-Twisting. He turns again and continues on taking a slightly different course. (Gorongosa, Mozambique)
