Some people on safari were watching a group of elephants. Suddenly, the elephants looked up. They moved their ears and started an running. But why? The people in the jeep didn't hear anything strange - but the elephants did. That's because elephants’ hearing is more sensitive than ours. An elephant can hear lower sounds than humans can hear. We call these low sounds infrasound. Infrasound can travel over long distances. Animals like the elephant, hippo, tiger, whale and octopus use infrasound to communicate with other animals far away. Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes also cause infrasound. In 2004, there was a strong earthquake under the Indian Ocean. The earthquake caused a huge tsunami. Many people on the beaches died, but many animals survived because they ran away before the tsunami hit. These animals are not more intelligent than people, but their hearing is better than ours. They know about disasters before we do because they can hear infrasound and we can't. T|F|DS 1. Elephants can hear sounds people can’t hear. 2. People can hear sounds elephants can’t hear, 3.
