When animals receive a stimulus, or a nerve signal, the signal is sent to their brain. The brain interprets the signal. It then sends messages telling the body how to respond. Elephants receive information through hearing, and touch. Elephants use their trunks to make loud calls to signal the other elephants of danger in their environment. Usually, the older elephants will form a circle around the younger elephants to protect them. eir sense of sight, Se Elephants make low rumbling sounds to communicate with each other. Elephants feel the vibrations of the sound Feel on the ground with their feet. Humans cannot hear these sounds. Most elephants form family groups. The oldest elephant leads other elephants to find water. She uses the direction of her body to signal to other elephants which way they should go.
