About Elephants
"amazing and intelligent animals"

Elephants are amazing animals to see in their own environment. They are incredibly social creatures who have lasting memories, and can communicate over long distances through low range sound waves (infrasound). They show a range of cognitive capabilities and social behaviour which most people, especially those that benefit from using elephants, would like to reserve for human beings.

"They are a large, funny animal, and they seem to know when they have done something dumb. They convey a sense of knowing how they fit into the world." (J .Poole quoted in The Fate Of The Elephant)

They are said to never forget and you do not have to look very far to understand why. Here are a few resources you can use to learn more about elephants -- the largest living land mammals in the world.
