RE: The Elephant Wades in on the War on Mines in Africa
Learned a new thing today: that elephants have a better sense of smell than dogs.
In retrospect, that shouldn't be surprising but it is. Those landmines are probably acting as a natural selection pressure that, a few generations from now, will lead to elephants with even better senses of smell.
Adaptation to survive and the need to develop the needed sense to do that. Makes sense.
