"Researchers in the US found that, like humans, African elephants in Kenya will
call to their friends with individual rumbles and grumbles.
The scientists are excited because their discovery “not only shows that
elephants use specific vocalisations for each individual, but that they
recognise and react to a call addressed to them while ignoring those addressed
to others”, said study author, Michael Pardo.
Other animals, like dolphins and parrots are known to copy sounds, but the
study suggests elephants and humans are the only two species on Earth known to
invent unique names for each other."
