Bryan Cockel explains how elephants use infrasound

“Infra” or low frequency sound are frequencies below 20 Hz, the threshold of average human hearing. Many animals – mostly large ones – use infrasound to communicate over long distances because it travels further than higher frequencies. For example, blue whales – the largest animal – communicate over hundreds of miles and are the “loudest” […]

Mother And Baby

Nkhotakota – 81 Arrests

Written by Jamie Joseph on Savingthewild.com It’s twilight in Malawi when I catch Rory Young on the phone, camped out with his fellow rangers somewhere deep in the African bush. There is a sense of urgency in his voice, like he has many important things to tell me, but really there is so much more […]

Just Getting Started

Written by Rory Young – Keep watching this space… Forty four arrests in last twenty four hours! And fifty five in the last forty eight! That has to be some sort of record… In the beautiful National Reserve where I am currently doing in ops training of Malawi DNPW rangers we are trying to make as big of […]
