Researches used machine-learning algorithms to identify and record 470 distinct calls from 101 animals, which were then played back to selected animals using loudspeakers. When specific calls were played to a \u201cfriend\u201d or family member, the animals responded more \u201cenergetically\u201d than to calls addressed to other animals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This &#8220;name&#8221;-like calling likely enhances lifelong social bonds among elephants. A rumble in the jungle, or African bush, now might just have a whole new meaning, and will remain the subject of many studies to come. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/seoloafrica.co.za\/elephant-talk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-mce-target=\"_blank\">Seolo Africa<\/a> for more information. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Their sheer size, intelligence, and complex social structures have always made elephants particularly intriguing&#8230;and now it is believed that they communicate on a much more sophisticated level than expected.\u00a0 With their remarkable memory, emotional depth, and problem-solving abilities, elephants have always fascinated us, making the findings of a new study all the more exciting: Elephants [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":113,"featured_media":17627,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[7091,7089,7088,7090],"class_list":{"0":"post-17626","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-lifestyle","8":"tag-bond","9":"tag-communication","10":"tag-elephants","11":"tag-name"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
