An elephant's trunk has a unique pattern of ridges and wrinkles, much like human fingerprints. These patterns can be used to identify individual elephants
Elephants have remarkable memories, which help them remember the locations of water sources, migration routes, and the faces of other elephants. This ability is crucial for their survival, especially in challenging environments
Elephants use a variety of vocalisations and sounds to communicate, including low-frequency rumbles called infrasound that can travel several miles. They also use their trunks, ears and body language to convey messages
Elephants are known to show empathy towards others. They have been observed comforting distressed or grieving companions, and they may even help injured or sick members of their herd
Elephants are among the few animals that walk with a "pacing" gait, where the legs on the same side of the body move together. This gait helps them support their large weight and conserve energy over long distances
