Elephants are extremely intelligent and their memories span many years. Their thick skin helps keep them cool and communicate by receiving sub-sonic rumbles made by other elephants. These messages are received through the sensitive skin on their feet and trunk. The sun-sonic rumbles travel over the ground faster than in through the air. Habitat loss and poaching for ivory are threats facing elephants. Both male and female African elephants have tusks.
