These biggest mammals on earth are really terrified by the sound of angry bees, with the vast majority turning to run within seconds of hearing the sound of buzzing, the scientist said.

Trumpeted as earthy in flavor and smooth on the palate, the exotic new brew is made of beans eaten by Thai elephants and plucked a day later from their dung. A gut reaction inside the elephant creates what its founder calls the coffee’s unique taste.

There are two animals who understand pointing command on earth, which are dogs and elephants. But, unlike the dogs, elephants understand pointing without even being trained to recognize this human gesture, research has shown.

Elephant society may have selected for an ability to understand when others are trying to communicate with them, and they are thus able to work out what pointing is about when they see it.
