Elephants in the wild seem to coordinate their movements even when widely separated. Male elephants seem to be able to find females in estrous even over long distances.
Bioacoustics researcher Katy Payne and her colleagues have found that elephants use low frequency sounds to communicate. These sounds are mostly below the range of human hearing but we feel them as "pulsations" in the air. In Africa these sounds may travel as far as 10 km and serve to coordinate elephant herds.
Payne is co-founder of the Elephant Listening Project, which uses acoustic methods to study and aid in the conservation of forest elephants in Central Africa.

Excellent. Thank you. Have been looking for traits of elephants who were listening to distant calls. Had read that they lift a leg so they have more weight on the ground to pick up sound vibrations coming through the ground and that they lay their trunks on the ground for the same purpose. Still looking for verification.
