kinds

of

animals

can

municate

in

one

way

or

another.

Maybe

you

have

heardaboutthewaybeesdancearoundtosendmessagestoeachotherandthewaysdogsbarktogivewarningsor

to

be

friendly.

But

did

you

know

about

infrasonic(次聲的)

munication

used

byelephants?

This

is

how

it

works:

Humans

hear

low

sounds

like

the

notesinmusicorbirdssinginginthesky.

But

we

don’thearsounds

lower

than

these.

However,

animals

such

as

elephantsandhippos

can

hear

muchlower

sounds

than

humans

can.

And

what’smore,they

can

make

lower

sounds

as

well,and

theyusethem

to

municate

with

each

other.

This

is

known

as

infrasound(次聲).Another

amazing

thing

about

infrasound

is

that

it

travels

over

several

kilometers.

Soundswhichhave

a

higher

pitch(音高),

like

the

ones

people

can

hear,

don’t

travel

well

through

walls,leaves,trees,

andothermaterials.

Thatis

why

we

can’t

hear

sounds

from

more

than

100metersaway.But

infrasound

is

much

“stronger”,

and

things

likegrassand

trees

have

no

effect

on

it.Therefore,it

can

travel

much

farther.

Elephants

can

hear

infrasonic

calls

from

4

kilometers

away!There

have

been

reports

of

people

watching

groups

of

elephants

feeding

or

resting

and

thentheelephants

suddenly

all

stopped

whatever

they

were

doing

for

no

reason

at

all.

They

obviouslyheard

a

warning

call

from

a

long

way

away,

but

the

people

didn’t

hear

a

sound.

In

places

like

azooor

wildlife

park,

where

you

can

get

nearer

to

animals,

it

is

easier

to

sense

when

infrasonicsoundsare

made.

When

you

stand

near

mother

elephants

with

their

babies

in

a

zoo,

you

maynotice

a

slight

rumbling(隆隆聲)

in

the

air

every

few

minutenot

loud

or

strong,

but

clearlynoticeable.This

is

infrasonic

municationthe
