💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐘🦻 #Elephants can hear messages sent through ground vibrations from more than 10 km away using bone conduction.
A #study found that elephants’ larger middle ear bones transmit low-frequency vibrations to the cochlea more effectively than human #ears. A special #muscle may also let elephants voluntarily close their ear canals, potentially boosting sensitivity to infrasonic #sounds by up to 30 times.

#nature #elephants #rescue This is a wonderful project in South Africa for elephants. Among other things, they care for orphaned elephants and raise them. A herd has formed that is now protected. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7FTUXQ4O3I

Us and them, humans and nature, an unnatural balance
First posted 20th January 2021. The situation has not got any better since then.
A computer scientist at The University of Bath in the UK has come up with a way of counting elephants using satellite data, https://phys.org/news/2021-01-elephants-space.html. The sad part of this story is that because of poaching and habitat fragmentation there are only between 40 and 50,000 African elephants left. Habitat fragmentation is down to the number of humans because as I have mentioned before in the 366 days of 2020 the human population increased by 80,000,000, the increase on its own being perhaps 1600 times the entire elephant population in Africa. As we know many countries in Africa have populations in which 50% or approaching 50% are 18 or under years of age. Humanity is not sustainable, we are too many and we take too much.

Rising human-elephant conflict in Southern AfricaA study predicts increasing human-elephant conflict in Southern #Africa. A growing number of farmers and 290,000 African savanna #elephants (Loxodonta africana) share space in Southern Africa, with conflicts arising from elephants raiding cropland.
^^^Or perhaps from humans taking over elephant habitat?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@theperpetuallycurious8/116467067006327122
At first, an elephant mud bath can look like pure play.
But there is quiet purpose in it too: cooling the body, coating the skin, and turning a simple wallow into a shared herd moment.
