Amongst lesser-known facts, is that, Elephants are adapted to send & receive, powerful low frequency vocalizations using their feet, that carry over long distances. These low frequency vocalizations called ‘rumbles’ are Seismic vibrations that travel through the ground. This ability to hear infrasonic sounds can help explain how Elephants know where to go when they navigate vast distances in search of water. Rumbles are low frequency infrasonic components, which are below the level of human hearing. Rumbles can easily travel distances of 6 kilometres & beyond which helps elephants coordinate among themselves & navigate vast distances.

The cave paintings adorning the walls of Chauvet Cave in France are among the oldest and most beautiful figurative art in human history. The painters were from the Aurignacian period (humans from 43,000 to 26,000 years ago.) Our ancestors from the “Paleolithic” period, also called the Old Stone Age, painted these images of various animals about 32,000 years ago, that seem to gallop, crawl, and frolic through the cave’s chambers!! These paintings are from the “Chauvet Cave”, located in the Pont-d'Arc Valley of Ardèche, France. The Chauvet Cave was discovered by three local explorers in December, 1994 in Southern France.
