Do elephants use their trunks and feet to detect sounds?
yes
How do you say what elephants eat in German?
The German word sounds the same but is spelt slightly differently "Elefant".
What are two animals that can hear lower frequency sounds than a human?
Both whales and elephants can hear extremely low frequency sounds.
What are some examples of infrasonic sounds?
Examples of infrasonic sounds include earthquakes, thunderstorms, volcanic eruptions, and large animals like elephants and whales producing low-frequency vocalizations. These sounds are below the audible range of human hearing, typically below 20 Hz.
Can elephants hear good?
Yes, elephants have very good hearing. They can hear a wide range of frequencies, including sounds that are infrasonic (below the range of human hearing). Their large ears are designed to help them pick up and interpret sounds over long distances.
What do elephants use there sound for?
For the last 15-20 years, researchers in Africa have been identifying sounds that are common in different groupings of elephants. This is proof that elephants do use their sound for communication, which is what most, (if not all), mammals use sound for.
Can humans hear the sounds from elephants under normal circumstances. Why or why not?
No, humans cannot hear the sounds made by elephants under normal circumstances. Elephants produce low-frequency infrasound vocalizations that are below the range of human hearing. However, elephants can communicate with each other over long distances using these infrasound frequencies.
How does African elephant communicate?
African elephants communicate through sounds and body language. Sounds include sounds that we can hear, such as the famous trumpeting sound, which is usually a response to a surprising stimulus. Sounds also include a lot of very low pitch rumblings, which pass through their feet and then travel for many miles through the ground, where other elephants can sense the sounds. That's a means of long distance communication.
Why do elephants make low frequency sonds?
Elephants produce low-frequency sounds for long-distance communication. These sounds can travel over several kilometers and enable elephants to communicate with each other across vast distances, especially in dense forest or savannah environments where visibility is limited. The low-frequency nature of these sounds allows them to penetrate through obstacles and background noise more effectively than higher frequencies.
Is an elephants pitch soft or loud?
Pitch is not loudness; an elephant can make both loud and quiet sounds, however all of their sounds are relatively low pitch.
