13dElephants give each other names — the 1st non-human animals to do so, study claims
livescience.com
African elephants in Kenya have distinct vocalizations specific to individuals in their social groups, suggesting they have names for each other.
This makes elephants the first non-human animals to address each other using individual names, unlike dolphins and parrots who imitate the receiver's call.
Researchers recorded 527 elephant calls and successfully identified 20.3% of the receivers using a computer model, providing new insights into elephant communication.
