Their Noses Are Bigger Than Ours

Elephants have stunted drunks when they are born, but they rapidly elongate over the course of the subsequent days following birth. However they are not so adept at using these complex and able appendages when they are first born, so they are oftentimes found actually "tripping over their noses" or trunks as it were. Luckily all we have to worry about is tripping over our own feet, and thankfully not our noses.
