In this episode of Life’s Little Mysteries, we will take a closer look at a mysterious animal from a family that has been around for millions of years. It is the largest land animal alive today: the elephant.
How big can elephants get, and how sensitive are their trunks? How intelligent are elephants, and do they really get pleaded on fermented fruit and go to drunken rampages? Listen to Life’s Little Mysteries Episode 46: Mysterious Elephants, to find out!
You will also hear about how big elephants’ brains shape their behavior, and how understanding elephant cognition and psychology can help people to protect these giants and even live with elephants in the wild.
Co-hosts: Jeanna Bryner en Mindy Weisberger
Guest: Joshua Plotnik, Assistant Professor of Psychology at Hunter College, The City University of New York
