Yes. Years ago I went to a tug of war contest at a circus. It was a radio promotional. I was dumb enough to get inside the loop at the end of the rope. They requested there be 400 men to pull the elephant. Well there wasn't, instead about 40 men and 150 woman and children showed up. Since I was at the end of the rope I could move around from side to side and see the elephant, and its trainer. Well I really had never put any thought into just how strong a elephant was, but I certanly shoud have. the trainer would spank the elephant on the rear to make it go forward to make us think that we were pulling it. Then he would go around to the front of the animal and spank it in the nose to make it walk backwards. Well to make a long story short, the elephant got tired of this and went out of control. It turned around and bolted off at top speed. Like I said earlier I was in the loop at the end of the rope, I went sailing through the air and through the crowd hurting many people including children. I will never foget that. So my answer to your question is this, YES ELEPANTS CAN WALK BACKWARDS.

However, elephants do communicate through subsonic vibration in the ground which they pick up with their feet. Those vibrations through the feet can mean many different things to an elephant.
