Families of elephants are moving toward Longinye Swamp in group after group. Several juveniles have left their families to Spar together and have become separated from their mothers. The families themselves seem agitated and we wondered at the time why they seemed concerned. Now listening to the audio with my earphone on we can hear the low bass of music playing - either blasting from a vehicle in the distance or from nearby villages.

One of the juveniles comes toward us giving Separated-Rumbles or ''lost calls''. In the clip the juvenile calls four times. We can hear distant responses. These calls are so low in frequency that you need to use earphone to hear them. The juvenile suddenly turns and runs back to the family it was with, although we don't think that this is his family.
