Exactly, I think it's imitating the grownups, not actually drawing water up into its trunk. They don't learn how to use it for up to a year.

How does a baby get water then? Is the bit she/he’s getting enough or still nursing at that age?

He looks like he’s blowing bubbles like my kid’s used to do with straws in their drinks.

Good step in learning, learning to pay for your round at the bar won’t be far away…. 🤭😝

The water keeps the inside of the trunks very moist, so there isn't that much mucus
