Really? There are elephants imitating other elephant sounds? Wondrous :))

[bonyoldbehind]

@imartash African and Asian elephants use different sounds rumbling vs chirping, an african elephant once learned to chirp while liviing with asians.

Well they said that parrots didn't understand the words they use, but Irene Pepperberg demonstrated that they can answer questions correctly in experimental situations..like if a group of blocks are the same in color and shape, but different in size, the parrot could answer the question, "What's different?" , Size, correctly, as well as other groups that differed in color, or shape, instead.

If parrots can, why not elephants?

@givebirthathome Yea just like baby. Need to find a way to teach them so they can understand what the word means.

@kbundy023 Have you seen the pictures that elephants are painting now? No joke, they have been giving them easels and paint brushes...they make pretty nice abstracts, and seem to have their own styles. I think they know what they are doing,

its just human ego that makes people automatically deny it.
