Colorado State University researchers used machine learning to confirm that elephant calls contained a name-like component identifying the intended recipient, a behavior they suspected based on observation. When the researchers played recorded calls, elephants responded to calls that were addressed to them by calling back or approaching the speaker.

Elephants are in a whole different level of intelligence in the animal kingdom. They mourn their dead, can show love and affection like other pets, and communicate through their generated vibrations. They do have different personalities, as they are sociable, attentive or aggressive.

There other animals that mourn their dead. For example complicated mammals like Orcas or considerably less complicated animals like Crows

@@TimDyck That is true. We humans definitely have no monopoly on the expression of sorrow.or the opposite, which is joy, Peccaries, monkeys...even donkeys have shown sorrow at the death of their species, and even evidently, of a different species they were associated with for a while. There was a recorded donkey in Canada who had great trouble recovering from the passing away of a horse he was with for several years. When they placed a tarp over the body of the horse (prior to burial) the donkey tore away the tarp covering. Throughout the night, the donkey kept circling around the dead horse and refused to leave. After the burial, the donkey remained standing over the grave for many days, pawing at the ground and braying throughout and refusing food and water. This is not anthropomorphism which is usually charged against ethologists delving into animal emotions. Cetaceans, giraffes, magpies, bats, dogs, chimps etc. have shown varying depths and capacities for grief...

It is so valuable to conduct studies of this nature. The more come to know how complex and intelligent elephants are the more we will appreciate their credibility. This should inspire people to treat them with great dignity and respect.

Great study, that is so overdue. We need to treat animals as equals and with the highest respect.They are not food or clothing. They are also as we are, citizens of this planet.

@@TimDyck Many animals are far more mature than you. All over YT, you have a sign hanging on both your ears saying "Space for Rent."
