Did You Know?

1. African elephants are incredibly intelligent and have excellent memories.
2. Despite their great size, elephants are known to be gentle creatures.
3. Elephants are good listeners, but not because of their infamously huge ears; elephants can use their feet to listen, picking up rumblings and vibrations in the ground.
4. Humans and elephants share a few quirky traits: calves have been observed sucking on their trunks and scientists conclude that it seems to be for comfort, just as baby humans suck on their thumbs! Elephants throw sand on themselves and their children which protects their skin from sun exposure.
5. Elephants don't like peanuts.
