Scientists Discover Elephants Using Names
come to a conclusion: to decide something after thinking about it carefully
Did you know that elephants call each other by name? Scientists have found that elephants use unique names when calling to their friends and family. This new study was done in Kenya, where researchers recorded the sounds of elephants. They used AI to listen to these sounds and found 469 different calls.
The researchers have come to the conclusion that elephants can recognize when someone is calling their name, even from far away. Adult elephants are more likely to use names to call to young ones. When they hear their name, they respond with excitement. This shows that elephants are very smart and have strong social bonds, just like humans. The study’s lead author, Michael Pardo, said that this discovery shows elephants can think in an abstract way. According to Frank Pope, CEO of Save the Elephants, “That elephants use names for one another is likely only the start of the revelations to come.”
