If you eat the same thing every day,you will not be happy.Elephants think so too!
Recently,a team of US scientists went to Kenya.They did a new study about elephants
there.They looked at elephants'poop()and tried to find the DNA of plants in it.
What did they find?In one elephant's poop,there are up to 137 different kinds of plants!
Elephants have a really rich diet.
Their diet also changes with the weather.When it rains,elephants eat more grass.When
it's dry,they eat more of other kinds of plants.
Elephants are big eaters.An adult elephant eats about 100 kg of food and drinks 100 liters
(of water every day,according to Britannica.
Elephants are very clever.Scientists find they sometimes do things just like us.

They know different sounds.Some sounds are safe.They can tell safe sounds from other
sounds.When they hear dangerous sounds,they run away.
They live in families.The "mother"is the most important in an elephant family.Female
elephants stay in the family forever.Male elephants leave between the ages of 7 and 12.
They can be sad.If an elephant dies,others will stand beside it to show their sadness.
They can remember places,such as rivers.They aren't easily lost in forests.

DScientists have found that plants can make sounds.
2A scientist named Lily Hadany and her team recorded tomato plants at different times.It
showed that the plants made ultrasonic()sounds.Humans could only hear them with the
help of a computer.They were noises like clicking(咔嗒声)sounds.
3As the scientists studied the sounds,they began to find some interesting facts.Plants
made different sounds at different times.They hardly clicked when they had enough water,but
as the soil got drier,they clicked more and more.Scientists also found that plants made sounds
when they got hurt.When scientists cut off a leaf from the plants,the plants also clicked more.
But the clicking wasn't the same as when the plants needed water.
Some scientists trained a computer AI system to recognize()the different kinds of
clicking sounds.It was able to find the difference between plants that needed water and plants
with cuts.It means that one day we may be able to use these sounds to figure out when they are
in a difficult time,and what problem they're having.That could be very helpful to farmers.
5The team's finding changes our ideas about plants.As Dr.Hadany says,"Even in a quiet
field,there are sounds made by plants,and those sounds carry information and may help us a lot.
