Elephant is an animal which is considered to be the most powerful. In ancient times, the king or Maharaja who had an elephant was considered to be the richest.
All the animals on earth have their own characteristics. But do you know that elephant is also an animal that calls out the name of its other partner.
Let us tell you that a study conducted on elephants has revealed that like humans, elephants also have their own personal names, using which every member of the herd addresses each other. Yes, this may seem strange to you but this has been revealed in a research.
According to a research, like humans, elephants also name their children. They use that special name to call each other. The special thing is that these names are very similar to the names given by humans.
This research conducted on wild African elephants was also published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution on June 10, 2024. According to the research, elephants learn to use individual names to address other elephants without imitating anyone. Also, other elephants recognize the call and respond.
The most commonly used distinctive sound that elephants use to call each other is a type of roar. There are three categories of this roar. The first is to call a lost herd mate, the second is to greet other mates and the third is to take care of the children.
An elephant roars when it has to call its partner who has gone far away or is out of sight. The second category is greeting. It is used by elephants when another elephant is quite close. Apart from this, the third roar is of care. This roar is used by female elephants to feed milk to the babies.
