Today is the "World Elephant Day"

in #wildlife8 years ago

Here are some facts about this beautiful creature, hope you enjoy the video and it can spread some awareness.

Did you Know?

• Elephants purr like cats do, as a means of communication.

• Elephants prefer one tusk over the other, just as people are either left or right-handed.

• Elephants have greeting ceremonies when a friend that has been away for some time returns to the group.

• An elephant is capable of hearing sound waves well below our human hearing limitation. The far reaching use of high pressure infrasound opens the elephant’s spatial experience far beyond our limited capabilities.

• Elephants have a highly developed brain and the largest of all the land mammals. The brain is 3 or 4 times larger than that of humans although smaller as a proportion of body weight.
