The Safari Ltd. Asian Elephant #227529 measures: 7" L x 4.75" T.
The first thing you'll notice is the unique pose of the elephant, with its trunk up in a trumpeting or spraying water position. This pose is a standout feature among other Asian elephant figures currently available and really brings the figure to life.
The wrinkly texture on the saggy, baggy body is a fantastic detail that adds to the realism of the figure. The open mouth with a pink tongue is a great touch. The light grey paint used on the figure is a little on the shiny side.
The trumpeting of an Asian elephant is a powerful and awe-inspiring sound. It is a vocalization that can be heard for miles and can be used for a variety of purposes. The trumpeting sound is made by forcing air through the elephant's trunk, which acts as a resonating chamber, amplifying the sound.
Asian elephants use trumpeting as a form of communication, both within their herd and with other elephants in the area. It can be used to warn of danger, to signal aggression, or to announce the arrival of a new member to the herd. The trumpeting sound can also be used to locate other elephants in the area or to establish territory boundaries.
In addition to communication, Asian elephants also use trumpeting as a form of defense. When threatened, an elephant will often trumpet loudly to intimidate the attacker and warn them to back off. The sound can be so powerful that it can cause vibrations in the ground, further adding to the intimidation factor.
