why does awheel`s and an elephant`s testis are not hunging away from the main body trunk other mamals?

Assuming you mean - in general why do elephants testis etc. not hang away from their body.\n\nThe answer is basically because it prevents them from being damaged while walking (being dragged), or from predators leaping up towards the animal.\n\nBecause we stand on two legs we're more readily prepared to fight whatever comes at us from the front.\n\nOther animals on fours have no underbelly protection so they pull in the testis in an adaptive way which basically protects their species ability to reproduce.\n\n\n----\nHope this helps you.\nEnjoy zoology, I hear it's terribly hard.

maybe because they are less agile than that of a smaller animal there by needing only to consume such quantity of food, and also bigger animals has the ability to conserve energy in their body......i guess

For pete's sake.  A large woman is made the same way anatomically as a smaller one.  What on earth makes you think there would be any need for treating one differently? Oh, and by the way- they respond just like the smaller ones too.  And one more thing- under all that "large" you just might discover a real tiger.

there are two mamals that do so....most know that platapus do but the other is a spiny anteater.

Not exactly, they hold themselves up rather like an elephant's trunk.

Goes back to the ancient days when elephants were used to move a lot of things. One elephant ,one day, refused and its owner went behind the elephant and smacked him in the jewels with a log. After that the elephant was fine. The next day another elephant did the same thing. Its owner asked the elephant if he remembered yesterday. The elephant nodded. The owner then asked the elephant if he wanted to get hit and the elephant shook his head vigorously and behaved himself..We been shaking and nodding the same way ever since.

Elephants have evolved with tusks as the elongated teeth enable the elephants to manipulate and hold items with the trunk and tusks.  They can pick up quite small items and rotate in front of their lips using the trunk and tusk combination to strip off the leaves etc.  They also use the trunk to strip the bark off of trees,scrape earth up to dig water holes and mineral scrapes, and for defence - although their large size makes them fairly predator proof.\nIndian elephants have smaller tusks than African elephants because they have evolved as a jungle species and the bigger tusks would get in the way in the undergrowth etc, plus the lusher vegetation means they do not need to scrape for water etc.

LOL.....cute question.....they have round butts with no legs.  You can't fall down if you have no legs.

Because they're so tall, they need something to reach the ground.\nBy the way, their trunk is more of a fusion of their nose and upper lip, I believe.

My thoughts would be so that an animal such as a horse, cow, elephant, etc. won't hurt themselves after coming out of surgery or some type of procedure. They would probably be very confused, not know where they are and begin to struggle to get out.

Elephants, There was a case a few years ago of an elephant relocation programme in South Africa. The males moved were young and caused a lot of problems by killing a number of endangered rihno (5 I think!). Problem  was sorted when they introduced an older, larger dominant male who suppresed the 'musth' (state of increased hormones when males go a little bananas)of the younger ones.

Been there, done this!  They are not. It's an urban legend. Besides, Elephants aren't afraid of humans, lions, or anything. Even lion prides move out of the way when the big animals comes.\n\nSnopes comments that "In fact, given the large size and relatively poor eyesight of elephants, they don't necessarily notice the occasional mouse scurrying around them all that often."\n\nAlthough it's possible that if by some fluke the mouse scurrying noise was magnified an elephant might be a little spooked and try to figure out whether it's dangerous or not.

Elephants because they are stong and can be very agressive. They would use their tusks to stab the polar bear if they don't trample it. Normly, though, most beings just run away at the site of the immense size of an elephant. I'm not saying that the polar bear will run away, but it would probably stand down and be dicouraged.

A camel... but without the humps :)

Actually, it's a pretty good explanation.  It fits the observation.  Do elephants swim that well though?  Would one sink if it lost it's footing? <Looks it up>\n\nApparently, they do swim rather well in deep water.  So, it does seem to fit.  That would explain the lack of a head (based on apparent size of the neck) in the famous Nessie photo.

They are big boned, literally that is part of the reason.  Relitive to thier size they arent "fat" you dont see whales with huge stomachs... they're just HUGE

There Sach's organ has a stack of electroplaques, which acts somewhat as a stack of battery plates. There evolutionary history is not know to me.
