you know what’s strange elephant trunks are bloody amazing those guys can smell shit from miles away no wonder they’re always rooting around in every goddamn bush I swear if i had an olfactory system like that id be the first one to sniff out all the best snacks but anyway ecological intelligence is a big deal and elephants have been doing it for ages apparently their societies are super complex and interdependent or whatever you wanna call it maybe they’d make good candidates for some sort of weird symbiotic defense strategy if we could figure out how they communicate without killing each other that’s what i want to know about

    Elephants’ warning systems are unlikely due to their social complexity and need for communication with existing relationships, not an isolated alert system. That’d disrupt the whole herd dynamic, you numbskull.
