Study proves elephants have a kind of name for each other | DW News
Scientists from the Colorado State University have revealed that African elephants appear to have names for each other. Researchers say they communicate using unique calls – low rumbles that can be heard across great distances – that can be used to grab the attention of a specific elephant. Scientists say it’s an ability that only a few wild…

those are dogs ❤
Theyre already using generative AI gpt 4 to record and translate whale languages, wait until gpt5 comes out, we will all become Dr Doolittle talking to the animals
Marco…
Do they exchange insults and regret doing so too?
There’s no feeling in the world like riding an elephant.
So now they need to work out if the "language" is generalized or specific to the family group/heard. or is it regional like dolphins and humans.
DW has time for elephants instead of talking about recent eu elections results and about how Russia is evil 😈
Lots of moral reckoning will occur when we realize some species have language and likely even oral history.
Caseoh ?????
Tell me you haven't seen Dumbo without telling me you haven't seen Dumbo.
Just who thought it was a good idea to waste money on this study?!
scientists learn how to troll elephants
lovely
It takes years to learn how to understand and vocalize names? INTELLIGENCE
Eavesdropping on elephants? This is wrong. Consider this my resignation. As long as this technology is at Wayne Enterprises, I won't be.
On the thumbnail there is a mention to abstract thought. How having "names" or understanding eachother while communicating, is a sign of abstract thought?, and how do we know they are using "names" and not something else?
Parrots have names for each other too.
Complicated calls for us humans, simple elephant language for them. Reminds me of the dolphins and orcas who communicate quite freely across the oceans. Just because our human hearing can't pick up all the ranges of sound waves, we think we are unique somehow.
I’m picking Big Ears is a popular name.
If I could be born again and choose a profession, I would choose the study and understanding of animal behavior. Far from human chaos
Wait until you realise that (at least) most "higher mammals", and birds, do—how else would your pet know you're calling for it when you use their name? This is news to absolutely no-one who has ever interacted with animals.
What's your name😂
More studies to humanize animals.
