💁🏻♀️ 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.

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.
