Family Mormyridae, the aptly-named elephant fishes, are pretty fuckin’ cool. Not only do some of them look like that, but they also possess electric organs in their caudal peduncle which are used for not only prey detection, but also navigation and communication. They’ve also got a high;y developed central nervous system and a keen sense of hearing. With small eyes and thick skin, these nocturnal foragers use their long, proboscis-like snouts to forage in muddy lakes and rivers in Africa.
