as well as to grab objects and throw them at their adversaries.

. Elephants emit a series of characteristic sounds that allow them to transmit their emotions in order to communicate with the rest of the members of their group.

hearing the sound allows them to know very precisely the direction and distance of the call.

When an elephant is in a state of agony, the rest of the herd usually settle around it to accompany it during the transition to death .
