Elephants are gracious animals. The matriarch, which leads the herd is clever and has so much knowledge she accumulated through the years. Like the routes to waterholes through the drought. She then gradually passes the knowledge to the other female members. If you are silent while watching them, and have your car window open (without the air-conditioning), you will pick up on her communication which is a very low rumble. This is apparently formed in the cavities of her skull and can be heard long distances away. It is also audible to people.

Elephants have “personalitie”s with likes and dislikes.

The calves and teenagers are playful. Elephants love water which they drink and use to cool off. The also do dust baths. See photo below.
