Sight: Rather poor vision capable of seeing clearly only at very short distances up to about 10 metres. |
 |
Hearing: Excellent hearing superior to human standards. Large ears act as amplifiers and warn of possible dangers. |
 |
Smell: Highly developed sense of smell thought to be superior to that of any other land mammal. |
 |
Touch: Acute deftness of balance achieved by high tactile sense. The trunk, an incredibly versatile organ, contributes greatly to this ability and is covered in a separate section on this page. |
 |
Taste: Comparable to all higher animals and can easily distinguish between unsuitable, suitable and favoured fodder. |
 |
Heartbeat: A comparison between the heart-beat of man, mouse and elephant |
