Passage 3 
Elephant communication 
 

A postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University, O’Connell-Rodwell has come to Namibia’s 
premiere wildlife sanctuary to explore the mysterious and complex world of elephant 
communication. She and her colleagues are part of a scientific revolution that began 
nearly two decades ago with the stunning revelation that elephants communicate over 
long distances using low-frequency sounds, also called infrasounds, that are too deep to 
be heard by most humans. 

As might be expected, the African elephant’s ability to sense seismic sound may begin in 
the ears. The hammer bone of the elephant’s inner ear is proportionally very large for a 
mammal, buy typical for animals that use vibrational signals. It may, therefore, be a sign 
that elephants can communicate with seismic sounds. Also, the elephant and its relative 
the manatee are unique among mammals in having reverted to a reptilian-like cochlear 
structure in the inner ear. The cochlea of reptiles facilitates a keen sensitivity to vibrations 
and may do the same in elephants. 

But other aspects of elephant anatomy also support that ability. First, their enormous 
bodies, which allow them to generate low-frequency sounds almost as powerful as those 
of a jet takeoff, provide ideal frames for receiving ground vibrations and conducting them 
to the inner ear. Second, the elephant’s toe bones rest on a fatty pad that might help focus 
vibrations from 
the ground into the bone. Finally, the elephant’s enormous brain lies in 
the cranial cavity behind the eyes in line with the auditory canal. The front of the skull is 
riddled with sinus cavities that may function as resonating chambers for vibrations from 
the ground. 

How the elephants sense these vibrations is still unknown, but O’Connell-Rodwell who 
just earned a graduate degree in entomology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa
suspects the pachyderms are “listening” with their trunks and feet. The trunk may be the 
most versatile appendage in nature. Its uses include drinking, bathing, smelling, feeding 
and scratching. Both trunk and feet contain two kinds of pressure-sensitive nerve endings 
– one that detects infrasonic vibrations and another that responds to vibrations with 
slightly higher frequencies. For O’Connell-Rodwell, the future of the research is boundless
