Dumbo, Babar and Heffalump: Elephants have names for each other

Animals communicate with one another all the time, but few species have the ability to call each other by individual names.

Dolphins are known to invent their own signature whistle as names, while parrots have also been known to use names with each other – and now new research has found that African elephants have found their own way to call each other by name too.

In this episode of the Briefing, lead author of the study and behavioural ecologist Mickey Pardo joins Bension Siebert to explain how African elephants use rumble sounds to communicate.
