The migration stories of elephants have always astonished
zoologists. These animals with their giant ears and huge bodies

migrate in the dry seasons and always follow the same paths. What is
even more interesting is that they clean up garbage such as chips of

wood they find on their way.
Since elephants are animals that spread over vast areas of land, it

is essential that they establish strong "communications" between
them. Elephants do not owe this communication to their sharp sense

of smell alone. Beside this, Allah has created an organ on their
forehead, which makes a hoarse noise. Thanks to this organ,

elephants talk to each other with a secret, coded language other
animals fail to understand. These hoarse noises elephants make can

reach very long distances. For this reason, this special noise that
elephants make is ideal for long distance conversation.
