C In 2003, O’Connell-Rodwell was in Etosha National Park researching ways to assist farmers in keeping elephants away from their crops. Having just earned a graduate degree in entomology at the University of Hawaii, O’Connell-Rodwell noticed something about the ‘freezing’ behaviour of Etosha’s six-ton bull elephants that reminded her of the tiny insects back in her lab. Remaining motionless in this way seems to enable animals to focus their keen senses of smell and hearing on unfamiliar odours and noises in the air. ‘Elephants often place their trunks on the ground when “freezing”. We think they may be using them as tools to detect vibrations in the earth,’ she says. ‘I did my Masters thesis on seismic communication in planthoppers, I’d put a male planthopper on a stem and play back a female call, and the male insect would do the same thing as the elephants: he would freeze, press down on his legs, go forward a bit, then freeze again. That’s what made me think that there’s something going on among elephants other than acoustic communication.’
