摘要

When you're being charged by an elephant, your thoughts are not naturally drawn to the miracle that is the elephant's ear. Now's not a good time to marvel at the ear's ingenious feat of vascular ventilation, the millions of capillaries through which the elephant's entire blood supply passes about every 20 minutes, cooling the great beast as a radiator cools a car engine. Yet the ear is the key to the charging elephant. In a mock charge, the etephant sticks its ears out at right angles from its body to make it appear more threatening. But if the charge is for real, the elephant pins its ears back to make itself more aerodynamic. Today the bull elephant charging me has its ears slicked back hard against its granite shoulders. This is not a good sign.
