What is the cause of extinction of the elephant?

Elephants contain valuable parts such as ivory, large bones and meat. Poachers will hunt and kill elephant after elephant just to obtain these precious valuables to sell or to own. Poachers do not care that they are ruthlessly killing a beautiful species, they only seem to care about the price of money they get for the trophies that they have collected from their murders. It is illegal to poach elephants so ivory, bones and meat is usually sold on the black market. Another reason is that elephants also have dental problems because throughout their life, an elephant's teeth will wear out and then they grow new ones. But when their teeth finally wear out for good, they can no longer eat food that they require and they die of starvation. Also, a female elephant will be pregnant for two years before they actually give birth.

Can elephants hear with their feet?

Yes. Years ago I went to a tug of war contest at a circus. It was a radio promotional. I was dumb enough to get inside the loop at the end of the rope. They requested there be 400 men to pull the elephant. Well there wasn't, instead about 40 men and 150 woman and children showed up. Since I was at the end of the rope I could move around from side to side and see the elephant, and its trainer. Well I really had never put any thought into just how strong a elephant was, but I certanly shoud have. the trainer would spank the elephant on the rear to make it go forward to make us think that we were pulling it. Then he would go around to the front of the animal and spank it in the nose to make it walk backwards. Well to make a long story short, the elephant got tired of this and went out of control. It turned around and bolted off at top speed. Like I said earlier I was in the loop at the end of the rope, I went sailing through the air and through the crowd hurting many people including children. I will never foget that. So my answer to your question is this, YES ELEPANTS CAN WALK BACKWARDS.
