Reposted from @natgeo - Photo by Beverly Joubert @beverlyjoubert | You can spend many, many hours in the company of elephants and there will still be moments of astonishment at their remarkable mental capacities. Imagine the intelligence of an animal that can develop a range of complex communication strategies and survival mechanisms in the face of escalating poaching, habitat loss, and other pressures. They’ve learned to identify human foes by their voice and language; they’ve learned to migrate in the safety of darkness and to use sophisticated messages to warn of danger and direct their kind to safe havens–and even to communicate these vital lessons to the next generation. This is just what we know … there’s no doubt that we’re only scratching the surface when it comes to understanding what they’re capable of. #TheJoyofElephants #ElephantIntelligence @i_Lex_Project - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx20E6ihmrC/?igshid=1bqm1qoayi7ef
