Inside the Nose of an Elephant | ScienceTake

- Elephants have a keen nose. They have more smell receptors than any mammal - including dogs - and can sniff out food that is several miles away. A new study tests their ability to distinguish between similar smelling plants.

Whether it's reporting on conflicts abroad and political divisions at home, or covering the latest style trends and scientific developments, New York Times video journalists provide a revealing and unforgettable view of the world. It's all the news that's fit to watch.
How about that an elephant can smell water from up to 12 miles away? I think that is more impressive than most examples shown here.
Michael Jimenez I didn't know that.
And also how they can lead a heard to a watering hole they haven’t been to in 50+ yrs themselves from tens of kilometers away when there are droughts. Amazing 🙂
Edit: this is from memory first of course as well as smell when they get close!
I thought it was gonna be a camera going up their trunk, I’m disappointed :’( informational video, though.
I don't think they'd like that anyway.
And it grabs things!
Elephants are incredible
I know of an elephant that lives in South Africa who was used in tracking poachers. Because, unlike dogs, elephants can track a scent in water. He no longer does that. He now lives with a herd of rescued ellies.
Wow that's incredible.
Thank you for sharing
The human sorter bit is pretty impressive
I mean if your nose is gonna be that long....
Elephants are awesome
I loved this!! More elephants video pleaseeeee!!
Your order is coming right up miss!
Better than elephants are bees, which can detect flower smells from miles away and within more air molecules, at a ratio of 1 part per million. This would be akin to a person in London smelling a fart from another person in New York.
And that was filmed in my country
Osoro Moenga where are you from
How about training search and rescue elephants for natural disasters? They could find people AND lift debris off them !!
Only trouble would be delivering them to the site. But there are pygmy elephants that could be bred to save the species and help too.
Elephants are big.
Amazing
Magnificent elephant
Gajah memang binatang pandai juga cerdik.👍😘😘😘
I want to know how deep is the hollow in their trunks, anyone who can guide me to such a video?
TSA should use them.
I'm very upset with you, I was under the impression that you were going to put a otoscope up an elephant's nose
Do you think that would be a nice feeling to the elephant?
@@ab.7272 it's a medical procedure it would only be good for the elephant, what if they detected a illness and could save it, jeez Luis go hug a tree
The title is misleading!
My favorite animal 🐘
0:04, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that an elephant would use their trunk to touch their junk.
...
Elephants do amazing paintings with their trunks also and even sign their names.
Yeah I though they were going to go up the elephants nose too...
The most huge cigarette with marijuana is the right thing for such a strong and long nose. But I'm not sure that elephants like to smoke marijuana.
Turtle teeth inside that elephant?
So why aren't truffle elephants a thing?
why employ a elephant when a dog does the job ?
Because they would eat the truffles
They can detect between a Kambaa and a Masaai.... 😂 I will remember to take a Masaai with me on Safari, no Kambaa Safari guides allowed.
I hear about Dogs being able to sniff out diseases. Elephants would do better given their greater intelligence and sense of smell, right?

Kkkkkkk misericórdia 😅😅😅😅😅
click bait
Euuu whiteheads from the beginning
Why I typed this I dunno
These Videos are very informative. I don’t like your journalism, (Most of your articles) but the Science Parts are kinda interesting.
Thanks. (The Syria Reports too)
