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

I have become too accustomed to tragedy on my continent. I learned as a child that there is a switch that you can just flick on that will block out the most pitiful scenes and the most horrible sounds. However, I also learned that when you use that switch there is a secret device deep inside […]

Onwards and Upwards!

Nkhotakota – 81 Arrests

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 […]
