Summary Elephants have a highly social language system that involves all of their sense and more than 70 different calls. Low-frequency calls can be heard over ten kilometres away which give notice to other elephants in the area regarding movement, direction and territory whilst more immediate calls communicate anger, fear and danger. Elephant communication is a great mystery to those who are listening but there is no doubt that it is a binding factor when it comes to keeping the herd together.
