People lucky enough to see these odd happenings usually respond in one of two ways. Some pooh-pooh the events as mere coincidence. Others suspect, whether they admit it or not, that elephants possess some kind of supernatural power. It turns out that neither of these explanations is correct. Coincidence has nothing to do with the movements.
Elephants can and do coordinate their activities over incredible distances.
On the other hand, elephants do not rely on telepathy to orchestrate these movements over time and space. Elephants seem psychic only because they live in a world slightly askew from our own. Their senses make them privy to information we lack, and this information keeps elephants connected in ways that fall beyond the realm of human experiences. Just as a dog or bat hears whistles pitched too high for the human ear, elephants can produce and perceive rumbles that drop below the range of human hearing.
