#Elephants call each other by name. Study uses AI algorithm to analyze calls in two herds of savanna 🐘 🐘 in Kenya.
The research “not only shows that elephants use specific vocalisations for each individual, but that they recognise and react to a call addressed to them while ignoring those addressed to others”, the lead study author, Michael Pardo, said.
'...when names were called out, it was often over a long distance, and when adults were addressing young elephants.
...Adults were also more likely to use names than calves, suggesting it could take years to learn this particular talent.'
