Name a famus elephant. Babar, perhaps? Or Dumb? These names are easy fr us t remember. Hwever, they sund nthing like the names elephants give t each ther. If yu’re an elephant, yur name is smething mre like a lw, rumbling (隆隆的) sund.
Scientists have fund that African savannah elephants (草原象) appear t have names fr ne anther. ★ The receivers als react t these calls. This means elephants may be the first nn-human animals t call each ther by names.
The new study was cnducted (实施) by a grup f researchers frm Clrad State University. In the study, the team recrded 625 elephant calls in Kenya. Sme f these were cntact rumbles. This usually happens when the elephants can’t see each ther. Others were greeting rumbles. They take place when the elephants see each ther again after sme time apart.
The researchers carefully studied these using a machine learning mdel (机器学习模型) . The mdel predicted which elephant the call was directed twards. The results suggested that certain calls were made t individual receivers.
Scientists then played back sme f these calls t 17 wild elephants. It turned ut that they mved mre quickly tward the sund f their wn “name”.
What’s mre, different elephants ften used the same srt f rumbles t cmmunicate with the same receiver. And the calls were nt just fr brad scial rles such as “mther”.
Of all the rumbles recrded, nly abut a fifth were individual names. This is quite similar t hw humans use names as well. Oftentimes, names aren’t necessary in a situatin.
“Rather than a whle stand-alne call, elephant calls may include several ther messages,” the researchers explain. “We’re nt skilled enugh t figure ut what they’re saying.”
Hwever, the findings suggest AI really can help us better understand animal cmmunicatin. Maybe ne day researchers can even use this knwledge t call elephants by their actual names.
