African elephants use many senses to gather information about their environment. These include the detection of seismic, or ground-based, vibrations.
Researchers at the University of Oxford and Save the Elephants have found that elephants can tell the difference between vibrations made by elephants and humans through field experiments in Samburu, Kenya. Watch as elephants retreat from the artificial vibrations.
