Elephants and humans

2014-03-19 18:16:29.984911+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Elephants are even cannier than zoologists previously realised:

To find out, Dr McComb and Dr Shannon recorded Masai and Kamba men as they calmly said, “Look, look over there, a group of elephants is coming.” They then played the recordings to 48 groups of elephants to see what happened. They have just published the results in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
