Summary:
Using tools developed to monitor earthquakes,
an interdisciplinary team of researchers have found that it's possible to
eavesdrop on elephants by listening in to vibrations through the ground as they
move about and vocalize. The findings support theories that elephants use
ground vibrations for long-distance communication among themselves. They might
also lead a new kind of alarm system for detecting elephant behaviors, such as
panic running.
