Elephants communicate via ground vibrations, sensing signals through their skulls
Elephants use ground-borne vibrations as a primary mode of communication, going beyond conventional airborne sound. Their anatomy, including large middle ear components and eardrums, enables efficient transmission of low-frequency signals to the cochlea. Remarkably, elephants can voluntarily close their ear canals to enhance their sensitivity to these low-frequency vibrations. This ability highlights the complexity and sophistication of elephant communication systems.
