All animals on earth have their own characteristics. But do you know that elephant is also an animal which calls its other companions by name.
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, you may find it strange but a research has revealed this.
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 research, elephants learn to use personal names to address other elephants without imitating anyone. Additionally, other elephants also respond by recognizing the call as a name.
The most distinctive sound that elephants use to call each other is a type of roar. There are three categories of this Vajra. The first is to call lost flock mates, the second is to greet other mates and the third is to take care of the young.
