The elephants of the Congo may seem quiet, but throughout their jungle home they rumble to each other in a frequency too low for human ears. Watch this clip from BBC wildlife documentary 'Jungle' too see what an elephant's rumble sounds like!

  • makes me clench my butt cheeks.

  • this is such a gift of new knowledge!

  • Btw these are most likely the elephants found in north africa during the punic and later roman era. They are not taller than about 2.5m at the shoulder. Hannibal probably used these as well as the larger indian and/or african elephants as was supplied by the ptolemids. They were thought to be extinct...

  • I think it is the cyclotis. The scientific name is wrong, it is not seen as a subspecies anymore but a species on its own. As you can see these elephants are substantially shorter than the ones you can see on the savannah. I suspect all of the forest(jungle...) dwelling elephants are the cyclotis and that the larger species do not venture into the dense jungles.

  • Are these elephants from "Nouabale Ndoki National Park?" Or even from northern Congo? More specifically, are they "Loxodonta africana cyclotis." Please someone provide an answer soon.

  • The f****rs can drive though!! Check out World's Greatest Aardvark car-chases on Sky 3!!!

  • wonderful...thanks for the link Rabbit.

  • Rabbitvoz I was once car-jacked by a bunch of Aardvarks. Nasty, vicious bastards they were. - the irony was they filmed it on their cell-phones and posted it on youtube. Bastard aardvarks.

  • Yeah, and more reliable and discerning that an electronic system. ATP got nothin" on them.
