Elephants Call Each Other by Sweet Individual Names. But Some Countries Want to Encourage More Hunting.
As George Wittemyer, an ecologist, professor, and scientific adviser for the group Save the Elephants, has summarized: “Elephants are incredibly social, always talking and touching each other — this naming is probably one of the things that underpins their ability to communicate to individuals.”
We already knew that elephants are incredibly complex, intelligent, social animals. They travel in communities where they know each individual member, they experience obvious joy and sorrow, and they hold funerals and grieve their dead.
