B Read the passage.Then answer the questions that follow.(3 points each) Elephant Communication A Researchers at Stanford and Cornell Universities are studying communication patterns of the savannah,or plains elephants,and forest elephants of sub-Saharan Africa. They have made many audio and video recordings,matching the sound and behavior of the elephants in order to understand the meaning from observed patterns. B Their findings are that elephants use many senses to communicate:sight,smell, taste,hearing,and touch.For example,when two female elephants greet each other after a long separation,they stand side by side,flapping their ears,touching and smelling each other with their trunks,making rumbling sounds.The longer they've been separated,the louder and more demonstrative they act when they meet again. C Elephant rumbling is a low,infrasonic sound of 12 -20 Hertz(Hz)that humans cannot hear.(Human range is between 20 -20,000 Hz.)Researchers have divided this rumbling into three main signals:contact,"Let's go,"and mating.The contact call is used by elephants that are miles away to communicate their location to other herds.All day, female leaders rumble to other groups,who rumble back.They stay far apart to ensure enough food for all the members and later meet at a watering hole and greet each other. D Another type of rumbling is the "Let's go"signal of a head female when she wants to leave a place after drinking or resting.Facing the direction she wants to go,she rumbles until the others begin to answer and follow her.The third type is the mating rumble that a male in musth emits.Females in a herd usually answer him,although none of them may be receptive,because they mate only once every four years.However,when the male hears them,he travels to the group to assess the situation. E A final interesting form of communication among elephants is the way they act toward their dead.If they come upon elephant bones,they stand around touching the skulls 1659
