Communication of the African Elephant in Africa:
Elephants are very vocal creatures: they rumble, squeak, trumpet, gurgle and chirp, as well as communicating with body language, such as by shaking the head, spreading the ears, raising the trunk etc. Much of their communication (vocalisations) cannot be heard by humans, as they make low frequency rumbling noises that can travel for kilometers.
Elephants have an acute sense of smell, and communicate by smell and touch - often one elephant will place its trunk into another’s mouth in order to greet it or reassure it in moments of stress.
Elephants also often raise the trunk in order to test the air. Compared to the size of their heads, elephant's have small eyes with long lashes, and their sense of sight is fairly poor.
