Tanzania’s first official wildlife corridor links savanna elephants to rainforest

African savanna elephants in southern Tanzania have an unusual habit: They climb mountains. Up to 1,000 of the pachyderms spend part of their time in the Udzungwa Mountains, clambering up and down steep slopes that are clad in lush, closed-canopy rainforest. “They go everywhere,” said Trevor Jones, director of strategy and development at the Southern […]

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐘🦻 #Elephants can hear messages sent through ground vibrations from more than 10 km away using bone conduction. A #study found that elephants’ larger middle ear bones transmit low-frequency vibrations to the cochlea more effectively than human #ears. A special #muscle may also let elephants voluntarily close their ear canals, potentially boosting sensitivity to infrasonic #sounds by up to 30 times. 👉 https://www.zmescience.com/science/news-science/elephants-may-hear-messages-through-ground-vibrations-from-more-than-10-kilometers-away/ #hearing #infrasound #animals #communication #anatomy #science #biology #zoology #wildlife #harvard

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐘💩 In a 15-year field #experiment at #Mpala, #Kenya, researchers built fences to keep #elephants out and watched what happened. Without elephant dung to eat, dung #beetle populations collapsed, resulting in 23% fewer species and 67% fewer individuals. The #study, led by Finote Gijsman, is the first large-scale #demonstration that protecting elephants also protects everything that depends on them. 👉 https://news.mongabay.com/short-article/2026/06/removal-of-african-elephants-causes-coextinction-of-dung-beetles-study-finds/ #dungbeetles #ecology #conservation #savanna #ecosystem #insects #biodiversity #science #africa

The world's smallest violin just played. A 75 y.o POS big game hunter dies in #Gabon while trying to kill a duiker. He was crushed by a herd of #elephants. Excellent poetic justice. Can't say I'll shed a tear over such a monstrous person no longer being around.
