Elephants love their relatives just as humans do – members of the same family are very attached to each other. These animals use many visual signals, sounds, and touches to communicate. After several days of separation, for example, the meeting of elephants from the same family is accompanied by a noisy greeting ceremony. The elephants are incredibly excited: they make loud noises, intertwine their trunks and cross their tusks, flap their ears, and so on.
