Product Information

Over the last twenty years, scientists have found that complex social groups of long-lived, large brained animals such as elephants often show a high degree of intelligence and use sophisticated forms of communication. Scientists are beginning to realize just how smart elephants are. Researchers are studying elephants communication and discovering just how rich and varied elephant talk iswithin a herd, between distant populations, and between elephants and other speciesincluding us. They celebrate a new birth, grieve over a dead herd member, and keep in touch with trumpeting, murmurs, trunk touches, and even vibrations that they feel through their feet. Scientists studying elephant communication hope they can use this kwledge to prevent elephant-human conflicts. Elephants have been associated with humans for 4000 years, gracing our temples, working in our forests, attending our weddings, entertaining us in circuses, and leading the charge into battle. But w the elephants are issuing a distress call. They are on the brink, in ever-closer conflict with humans over land, hunted for their ivory. Can we learn to listen to the elephant in time to save them?
