5 Interesting Facts About Elephants!

Elephants are one of the few animals that mourn their dead - they will return to the bones of deceased family members, gently touching them with their trunks and standing in silence for extended periods.
An elephant's trunk contains over 40,000 muscles - it can uproot trees, pick up a single blade of grass, spray water, smell water sources from 20km away, and produce sounds ranging from rumbles to trumpets.
They communicate using infrasound - low-frequency rumbles below the range of human hearing that can travel up to 10km through the ground, felt by other elephants through their feet.
Elephants are pregnant for 22 months - the longest gestation period of any land mammal. Calves are born weighing around 120kg and can stand within hours.
They are one of the only animals besides humans known to recognise themselves in a mirror, use tools, show empathy, and demonstrate what appears to be a sense of humour.
