Every wondered how elephants dated? Well, you’re not the only one and some folks have got together to figure the whole thing out. Since 1999 the Elephant Listening Project has been, funnily enough, listening to elephants.
They’ve learned that elephants use infrasonic calls – calls too low in frequency to be heard by the human ear – for long-distance communication. Infrasound can travel farther than higher pitched sound. Elephant families separated by several kilometers use them to keep track of each other. Male elephants find fertile females by using these low frequency sounds. Source - Earth & Sky
