There is a lot we're still learning about the magnificent elephant, a creature that became a political animal after satirist Thomas Nast used it in cartoons in the 1870s. Correspondent Faith Salie visits the exhibition "The Secret World of Elephants," at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, and checks out the pachyderms at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., to uncover some of the elephant's secrets, from its means of communication, to its trunk, "the Swiss army knife of organs."

"CBS News Sunday Morning" features stories on the arts, music, nature, entertainment, sports, history, science and Americana, and highlights unique human accomplishments and achievements. Check local listings for "CBS News Sunday Morning" broadcast times.

    DJT quietly lifted the US ban on import of elephant/endangered wildlife in 2018 which severely increased poachers $$$. The good news is it was overturned in 2022. ❤🐘

    Beautiful elephants. Stop destroying their habitats.

    Elephants are beautiful creatures. Leave them alone.

    You HAVE to be deprived in some way of intelligence and common sense to believe that this magnificent and complex creature simply evolved into existence and was not deliberately, intentionally, intricately and super intelligently DESIGNED. That also goes for ourselves and EVERYTHING else! How BLIND we have become..
