Thanks to all who have given suggestion on elephant sound recording. My
friend wants to record sound for the purpose of documentation of different=
elephant vocalizations and also to use vocalizations for prevention of
elephant damage to life and property. The budget for the equipment is about=
USD 3000.
Best Wishes
