☆ Every Elephant Has Its Own Name, Study Suggests
  + stars: | 2024-06-10 | by ( Kate Golembiewski | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
It’s more than a sound people make to get your attention — it’s a seemingly universal hallmark of human society and language, the specifics of which set us apart from our fellow animals. Now, scientists say they have found evidence with the help of artificial-intelligence-powered tools that elephants call each other by names too. Elephants’ trumpeting calls might be their most recognizable sounds, but these “are basically an emotional outburst,” Dr. Pardo said. Lower-pitched rumbles, he said, are more meaningful, as they make up a majority of elephant vocalizations and are used in a wide variety of social situations. “A lot of interesting stuff is going on in the rumbles,” he said.

☆ African elephants address each other with name-like calls, study suggests
  + stars: | 2024-06-10 | by ( Amarachi Orie | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
CNN —Wild African elephants may address each other using individualized calls that resemble the personal names used by humans, a new study suggests. These elephants learn, recognize and use individualized name-like calls to address others of their kind, seemingly without using imitation, according to the study published Monday in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution. Caregiver rumbles are used by an adolescent or adult female toward a calf she is caring for, according to the study. All the elephants could be individually identified by the shape of their ears, as they had been monitored continuously for decades, according to the study. The study authors were not able to conclusively determine whether different elephants used the same name to refer to the same individual, or if they addressed the same individual with different names.
