Elephants have long been thought to be one of the brainier beings in the animal kingdom, making this finding that they call one another by their names not completely mind-boggling.
Through other researchers and folks who have spent long periods with the impressive creatures, it’s been learned that elephants have a wide range of emotions, allowing them to feel empathy and also grieve the loss of a loved one.
They also bond with not just fellow elephants but also humans, have impressive memories, and use tools for certain tasks like tossing a rock at an enemy or using sticks to flick ticks from their skin.
