Fact Sheet

Did you know: 80% of Hippo communication is underwater, and like whales and dolphins, the hippo has evolved some incredible physiological adaptations to create and receive sound underwater?

Did you know: Elephants use a wide variety of rumbles, growls, groans and even humming as well as trumpeting for communication? Some of this communication is infrasonic – at levels that we cannot hear.

Did you know: Birds can recognize their established neighbours by their calls – just as we know our friends when they speak?

Did you know: Some alarm calls by mammals such as monkeys or squirrels or certain birds are very specific and can warn of avian predators rather than ground predators (or vice versa)?
