Fascinating research on elephant communication 👇

[Nature Portfolio @NaturePortfolio]

Wild African savannah elephants may address each other with name-like calls that, similar to personal names used by humans, do not appear to imitate sounds made by the individual being addressed, according to research in @NatureEcoEvo. https://t.co/R4IPoceh10
