So many wonderful, flapping ears! Unlike humans, elephants cannot depend on sweat to cool them down, as their only sweat glands are between their toes. 👀 On hot days like today, elephants use their ears as a fan, to regulate their body temperature. By flapping their ears, they can cool their bodies by up to 5° Celcius (that is 9° Fahrenheit)! - - Video © Reteti Elephant Sanctuary #reteti #retetielephants #elephants #northernkenya #conservation #communityconservation
