Play It By Foot

In addition to their “trumpet” sound, elephants let out a low rumble that can be heard six miles (10 km) away. But that rumble travels even farther through the ground, and distant elephants hear it with their feet. Elephants can hear rumblings and warning stomps from herds nearly 20 miles (32 km) away.

Elephants can drink up to 50 gallons of water a day—that’s about 378 bottles of water.

They can hear some sounds even farther away. From 100 miles (160 km), herds can hear a storm and start moving toward the downpour of precious water.

Because elephant herds are often spread over a large area, they need to communicate quickly. The elephant’s footphone is a reminder that the loving Creator doesn’t turn a deaf ear to his creatures’ needs.
