Elephants are very intelligent and loyal animals. They have extra-long trunks and fan-sized ears that wrap around their trunks and serve as a tool for elephants to protect themselves and forage. Elephants are sensitive animals, and they will help baby elephants that get stuck in the mud, even gently stroking each other with their trunks.
Elephants have the most sensitive trunks in the animal kingdom. They can use their long noses to search for water molecules within 2,000 square kilometers to determine the direction of water sources. Therefore, when the dry season comes, elephants can find water faster than other animals. Elephants drink 200 liters of water a day, and it is difficult to survive the dry season without water-seeking skills. When elephants find a source of water, they expand the small puddle into a small pond for convenience. When you're full, you go elsewhere to find something to eat, and when you're thirsty, you come back.
At this time, these small ponds have become the source of life for the surrounding animals, and the elephants are also happy to share this rare small pond with the animals. It can be said that with the help of elephants, many animals can survive difficult droughts. Therefore, elephants are very kind animals who help others while helping themselves.
Elephants can communicate using infrasound waves that humans cannot hear. In the case of no interference, it is generally possible to travel 11 kilometers. If the medium is not uniform due to airflow, it can only travel 4 kilometers. If communication is required in this situation, the elephants stomp together and make a strong "boom" sound. This method can spread the farthest. 32 km. How can an elephant in the distance hear it? In fact, elephants use bones for conduction. As sound waves travel, they travel through the bones along the soles of the feet to the inner ear, and the fat on the elephant's face can be used to amplify the sound. Zoologists call this fat sound-amplifying fat. Many marine animals also have this fat.
Elephants are tropical animals and generally live in hillsides, river valleys, savannas, bamboo forests and other places below 1,000 meters above sea level. Elephants have no fixed habitat and prefer to live in groups. They generally prefer to eat twigs with more moisture, and use their noses to roll up food and pick fruit while foraging. Besides juicy branches, elephants also like to eat fruits such as bananas. Their diet consists mainly of grasses, grass roots, tree shoots, shrubs, bark, fruits and vegetables.
