According to recent research, elephants are reputed for having incredible memories, but they are also capable forecasters.

According to researchers, the larger animals can detect an approaching rainstorm up to 150 miles (241 kilometers) away.

They believe elephants’ predictive abilities might be utilized to help conservationists track herds and keep them safe from p.oac.hers.

More Accurate Than Weathermen? Elephants Can Detect An Approaching Rainstorm Up To 150 Miles (241Km) Away, Scientists Say. They Think Elephants’ Forecasting Abilities Could Be Used To Help Conservationists Monitor Herds To Keep Them Safe From Poachers

Elephants have tremendous auditory senses and can hear sounds at extremely low frequencies, according to PopSci.

The creatures are believed to be able to hear low rumbles of thunder and the sound of heavy rainfall miles away, allowing them to anticipate when it will rain.

After studying elephant herds that suddenly migrated to Namibia, they reached the conclusion that the creatures had a common purpose. According to an investigation published in Plos One, the behavior has never been explained before.

Oliver Frauenfeld, a geology professor at Texas A&M University said: They’ve been observed to alter the locations they go and the speeds they travel frequently.

To figure out, Professor Frauenfeld and his team tracked the movements of nine elephants wearing GPS trackers from different herds – a total of seven years – using potted posture data.

They found that the elephants constantly change course during the rainy season in Namibia, between January and March.

The researchers found that the elephants were able to ‘feel’ when others were hundreds of miles away and predicted and migrated toward the rainstorms.

Professor Frauenfeld said: ‘They’re searching for water,’ she explains. ‘When the elephants hear the rain, they begin to migrate towards it and can obtain water sooner.’

He believes that learning how elephants pursue storms might assist conservationists in predicting their movements and protecting them from po.ac.hers.
