Omschrijving

A 2012 Sibert Honor Book

In the sprawling African scrub desert of Etosha National Park in Namibia, they call her "the mother of all elephants." Holding binoculars closely to her eyes, American scientist Caitlin O’Connell could not believe what she was seeing from these African elephants: as the mighty matriarch scanned the horizon, the other elephants followed suit, stopped midstride, and stood as still as statues.

This observation would guide the scientist to a groundbreaking discovery about elephant communication: elephants actually listen with their limbs.

The Elephant Scientist was named a 2012 Robert F. Sibert Honor Book.

This inspiring work of childrens nonfiction reveals the true story behind the science:

Field Biology in Action: Journey to Etosha National Park and see what it takes to be a real-life scientist studying wild elephants in their natural habitat. A Groundbreaking Discovery: Join Caitlin O’Connell as she uncovers a secret world of animal communication and proves that these gentle giants can hear through their feet. Fascinating Animal Behavior: Learn how elephant families are led by a wise matriarch and why they communicate using seismic signals that travel through the ground. Inspiring STEM for Kids: Filled with incredible photographs and real-life research, this Sibert Honor Book is perfect for young readers who love animals, science, and adventure.
