A Thunderous Noise
The heat from the sun was making the muddy hole terribly hard to breath in. The baby elephant was succumbing to his situation, and his herd knew it. In response to this, the herd began trumpeting together in unison. Elephant herds often do this in stressful situations, and it’s one of the most disturbing sounds you’d ever hear. It was a trumpeting that could be heard for miles around, and not a single animal or human in the vicinity could ignore it.
The Cries
The Advantages
Having lives around elephants for so long, many of the people who could hear the elephant’s cries immediately knew that something was wrong. They had learned over time that some sounds were natural and happy, while others meant that there was danger nearby or some kind of problem. The elephants rarely made these kinds of distress calls, so the people in the area were immediately on high alert. Something different was going on, and something had to be done about it.
