Think only humans have names?

Think again—elephants have joined the chat! Research shows that African elephants can call each other by name. Yes, name! Over decades of observation in Kenya, scientists discovered that female elephants use unique, individual-specific sounds to address each other—essentially giving their herd-mates nicknames.This puts elephants in an elite club of animals, alongside parrots and dolphins, known to use personalized communication. But unlike parrots' mimicry or dolphins' whistles, elephants create distinct sound sequences—a one-of-a-kind behavior in the animal kingdom.

So next time you hear an elephant, remember: it might just be calling a friend by name. Love this nugget? Tune in tomorrow for more ear-raising trivia!
