Everything You Need to Know About Elephants
Description
Book Introduction
Duran's first science book

Humans and elephants are surprisingly similar.
Elephants have a lifespan similar to that of humans, a remarkable memory, and a childhood and adolescence similar to that of humans.
Elephants have remarkable social learning abilities and pass on the knowledge they acquire to the next generation.
Elephants are highly emotional beings and have a highly developed hippocampus.
Elephants suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and may mourn their dead companions for long periods of time.
The half-moon elephant is also very different from us humans.
Above all, elephants live in a sensory world different from ours.
It can detect and express sounds and vibrations that humans cannot hear.
They have the most advanced sense of smell among mammals, and that's why they live in universes we can't even imagine.

This book is a masterpiece by zoologist Angela Stoeger, who has studied the life and ecology of elephants for a long time, and it clearly covers almost all knowledge about elephants.
Moreover, it was selected as the best work in the 'Science Book of the Year' award hosted by the German Ministry of Education for its solid information, flowing writing style, and deep love.

Publisher's Review
Elephants, animals that have established themselves as mysterious and familiar beings in our culture!
Everything about elephants is contained in this one book.

『-All About Elephants』 contains everything about elephants.

Elephants are familiar yet still mysterious animals.
Recently, in China, 15 elephants living in the Xishuangbanna Wildlife Sanctuary reportedly left the area and traveled 460 kilometers.
And then back to the reserve.
We still don't know the exact reason for this amazing movement.
And it is also a mystery why he came back that long way.
Although there are still many unknowns, this book compiles all the research we have done on elephants so far.

『-All About Elephants』 clearly shows how elephants communicate.
Everland in Yongin has world-famous elephants.
Kosik is the main character.
Kosik can understand six or seven Korean words, even though it is only at the vocabulary level, and he can even speak them.
The author of this book also visited Vienna, Austria to confirm the reality.
And it was confirmed that Kosik could reproduce people's speech accurately.
The authors stated that the solitary Kosik appeared to have imitated the vocalizations of the zookeeper to establish an emotional connection.
Just as African elephants learn the unique vocalizations of Asian elephants when they live with a group of Asian elephants,
Elephants are known for being wise and leading active social lives.

『-All About Elephants』 contains not only the matriarchal elephant society but also the group life of male elephants.
Elephants are matriarchs.
The aunts, their daughters, and their daughters' daughters live together in a group centered around the matriarch.
Even on the harsh journey to find water during the dry season, the matriarch leads the procession.
They patiently raise young elephants and actively participate in the mating of young female elephants.
And the wisdom of this matriarch is passed down to the next generation without fail, and the elephants continue to survive in the ever-changing natural environment.
However, human intervention such as poaching, capture, habitat invasion, and industrialization including trains are emerging as issues for species conservation.

In 『-All About Elephants』, the importance of elephants as an indicator species is clearly highlighted.
Elephants serve as indicator species for various species in Africa and Asia.
Because the life of an elephant has important value and meaning for other species.
Elephants are the largest land mammals and their primary diet consists of shrubs, which create an environment in which large trees can grow.
Moreover, elephants play a vital role in the survival of other animals by clearing paths in the African grasslands where the dry and rainy seasons intersect, and by finding and digging water holes.
Moreover, for a long time, elephants have been symbolic beings in human culture, and have existed as strong supporters portrayed as benevolent beings.
Therefore, elephants are an indispensable part of enriching our culture and our lives.

This is a time when the wisdom of coexistence is needed more than ever.
That wisdom fundamentally comes from knowing.
"Everything About Elephants You'll Love Once You Know Them" is a book that serves as a catalyst.
