KNOW YOUR ELEPHANTS
When wild African elephants call out, they might identify each other by name, according to a new study published recently in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution.
While some other animals possess the ability to imitate others, humans are the only species known to assign invented vocal labels to other objects and beings. But in the new study, a computer model was able to identify the recipient of an elephant’s call with some success by analyzing a recording of the caller’s vocalization.
“This study opens a door into how their mind works,” George Wittemyer, a co-author of the study and biologist at Colorado State University, says to National Geographic’s Laurel Neme. “We’re making a step to understanding them better, and maybe that will help us live with them better.”
Some animals make calls to identify individuals, but these noises are simply mimicked. For instance, bottlenose dolphins and orange-fronted parakeets make “signature” calls to identify themselves—and other members of their species address them by imitating this signature. But vocal labeling that doesn’t involve imitation may be more cognitively demanding.
Think Tank Trivia
No Cheating Policy
1. No cell phones can be out at the table while game cards are in play. You may use your cell phones during intermissions and only when your game card has been turned in to your trivia host.
2. No use of smart watches while game cards are in play. You may choose to not wear your smart watch on trivia night or just like your cell phones, please put them away!
3. Do not leave your table while the game card is in play. This is to make sure teams are not sneaking away to google answers. There is time before, during intermissions, and after the game to move about the cabin. If you have to step away from the table to go outside or use the restroom, you cannot rejoin your team until the game card has been turned in. Any other circumstances, please see your trivia host.
If the trivia host has warned you, you may continue to play, however your points will not count. Let's have a fun and fair game out there!!
