Christmas Chaos Collection: Elephant Thank You Card

When an elephant wants your hat, it’s probably best to hand it over. Even if you’re Santa. Elephants are extraordinary, and always a magical sight on an African safari. They communicate a lot through touch, taste, and smell. A mother may touch her calf with her tail to make sure he’s still following, or she might turn and shove him as discipline. Two elephants will greet each other with trunks outstretched, sniffing for clues about the other. Incidentally, some scientists say that excited behaviour during greetings may suggest that elephants remember one another, even after being separated for many years.
