  You say that, but elephants, which are the largest animal alive on land today, are surprisingly quiet. They’ve got very padded feet to support their enormous weight, which means they move very quietly.

  Now, not seeing them? They were big bastards. Need some trees to hide in.

    Elephants evolved to be stealthy to not spook the plants. I remember just yesterday I went to pick an orange but stepped on a twig… The entire orchard bolted. Huge pain in the ass. The farmer was pissed.

    Btw I’m being silly not insulting your comment.

    How does an elephant hide in a cherry tree?

    They paint their nails red

      How do you know there’s an elephant hiding in your fridge?

      There’s tracks in the butter

    I don’t think they stomped loudly (except maybe when they ran) but I don’t see how they would be able to move through the undergrowth without snapping a lot of branches. (Or how they could move through dense forest at all.)
