If for some reason you own an elephant and or a cotton field. Well, don’t let that elephant plow the field. I mean it’s probably a good idea to not do this. But who tried prompting the law?
(Photo by Warren Little/Getty Images)So here's a bit of a surprise for me. Elephants can actually call each other by names! What the?? The next obvious step is to find out what those names are. Karen? Rachel? Ross? Chandler? Researchers from Colorado State University used machine learning to study 470 unique noises recorded by them in Kenya.
The study revealed that the tones and rumbles of the elephants changed depending on which member of their herd they were communicating with. The Daily Mail says the scientists then tried a test.
The scientists played the sounds to the herds, and the elephants being called responded to their sounds. The study says the experiment suggests that elephants are capable of abstract thinking, and makes elephants one of only a few species that use names for each other.
