The structure of their skulls also resembles those of elephants, so it’s possible they also had long trunks.

This is an old theory that is no longer supported by most paleontologists AFAIK. Trunks require specific musculature, more blood vessels, and more nerves than a regular nose does, and those things leave evidence in the structure of the facial bones.

I’m no scientist and I’ve never seen one in real life, but I can promise you penguins do not have trunks iirc
