Joe Rogan and Paul Rosolie discuss the crazy way elephants communicate using vibrations through the ground. Watch the full clip here:    • Joe Rogan - Elephants are CRAZY #fact...  

We usually just see these giant creatures, with those long trunks – kinda like a squishy octopus face – and think they're just grazing away. But dude, there's so much going on in those big heads of theirs! I mean, butterfly ears? Cool. But did you know about their underground communication system? No, it's not elephant WhatsApp, but it's pretty darn close.

Elephants use, get this, low-frequency vibes – kinda like a bass drop at a concert – to communicate. We can't hear it, but they transmit these rumbles through the ground, kinda like a seismic wave of gossip. They’ll be like, "Hey, Bob! Found a dope water spot, come check it out." It's all happening under their feet, which, by the way, are weirdly soft. I mean, one time, an elephant stepped on my mate's foot, and it didn’t squish him!

Their whole foot structure is designed in a way where the foot is elevated, and the base is cushiony. This allows them to send out these vibes for miles. I mean, imagine having a chat with your friend across town without a phone – just some good ol' earthy vibrations.

So, next time you're watching a documentary or, heck, if you're lucky enough to see these majestic beasts in the wild, just remember: they’re not just aimlessly walking around. They're chatting, sharing tips, and basically running their own jungle pharmacy. Elephants, man, they're cooler than we give them credit for!
