12 Amazing Facts About Elephants

In honor of World Elephant Day, we present you with 12 little known facts about one of our favorite creatures…in GIFs, of course.

1. Elephants know every member of their herd and are able to recognize up to 30 companions by sight or smell. 

2. They can remember and distinguish particular cues that signal danger and can recall locations long after their last visit.

3. An elephant’s memory is not limited to its herd, nor is it limited to its species. In one instance, two circus elephants that performed together rejoiced when crossing paths 23 years later. Elephants have also recognized humans that they once bonded with after decades apart. 4. 

4. The elephant boasts the largest brain of any land mammal as well as an impressive encephalization quotient (the size of the animal’s brain relative to its body size). The elephant’s EQ is nearly as high as a chimpanzee’s.

5. The elephant brain is remarkably similar to the human brain, with as many neurons and synapses, as well as a highly developed hippocampus and cerebral cortex.

6. Elephants are one of the few non-human animals to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.

7. Elephants are creative problem solvers. 

8. Don’t try to outsmart an elephant! They have an understanding of basic arithmetic and can even keep track of relative quantities.

9. Elephants communicate using everything from body signals to infrared rumbles that can be heard from kilometers away. Their understanding of syntax suggests that they have their own language and grammar. 

10. Elephants can recognize 12 distinct tones of music and recreate melodies.

11. Elephants are the only non-human animals to mourn their dead, performing burial rituals and returning to visit graves. 

12. Elephants are one of the few species who can recognize themselves in the mirror.

Given what we now know about elephants, and what they continue to teach us about animal intelligence, it is more important than ever to make sure that these magnificent creatures do not vanish.

My fav athmospheres for study

There’s this website http://www.ambient-mixer.com/ that’s so good for study athmospheres, but also for RPC or writing ones. Honestly, they have such variety of all kinds of ambient sounds, it’s great (RPG, relaxing, fandom, gaming…) I’m listing my fav athmospheres for study and classwork as a reference for me and for people who might want to try them out (note: I have a predilection for relaxing, urban, and summery).

(Rec: some of these include music tracks, it’s recommendable to mute them if you’re also sitening to your own music)

Elizabeth’s Paris - yes it’s from Bioshock infinite, but honestly you could just take it as a 20s Parisian cafe. It’s my all time favorite. 

Study like a Slytherin - the only slytherin common room athmosphere that’s calm but doesn’t feel like you’re in a submarine

In Rivendell - I usually lower the sound of the waterfall bc I feel like it’s too loud but one of my all time favorites too, I don’t even like lotr

A Library, 1732 - y’all know me and how I love to feel rococo in everything I do

Calm Sunday in New York - I tend to lower the sound of writing on paper. Yes, another one with La Vie En Rose, sue me

Cafe Terrace at night - I tend to lower the sound of miner’s pub and turn the piano a bit louder for a bit more of a surreal feel

Venice Cafe - again, I tend to lower the volume of the pub voices

Suburban Summer day - so calm but I recommend lowering the sound of grasshoppers because it’s too high

Home for the holidays - because I lvoe feeling like I’m inside a Hallmark film

Anime Afternoon - super relaxing if a bit unsettling? idk how to explain 

A London Flat - another favorite

London Streets - I tend to lower everything so that it sounds like it’s coming from outside a window

Urban rainy day in traffic - yes, I love cities you all know

Fairy wedding in the woods - incredibly beautiful and calm and surreal

Hufflepuff common room - Another good one for study, I tend to lower the cat purring bc it sounds too loud

A book by the sea - what it says in the tin
