Talking Elephant?

Talking elephants are not just fictional characters in Dumbo. At the Oakland Zoo, a biologist is discovering that elephants do communicate with each other. What makes this discovery more surprising is that they can send and receive messages with their feet.

My Elephant speaks English very well. He's always like " Hey Loell buddy, what's good? " and I'm like " Yo dawg it's all good! " Then we go play 4 square. 'cept his square is much bigger than mine.

There is nothing wrong with carefully doing some investigation of the world around us including animals. At least some of us are paying attention and learning what we can. Let's not put down research. This told them a lot.

Let animals stay in the wild dumb fucks..Thats why we have more then likee 100 endargered animals..Stop shooting/abusing/keeping them, Go play WoW to make up your time instead of killing things.

this is not science, this is stupid!! every animal can learn to lift a leg when they feel the ground shake if you feed them treats. I'm  disappointed in nat geo for being part of such crap.

It's like they're training her to "communicate" a certain way using positive reinforcement and taxpayers' money. In the end, they must have only successfully tampered with her natural instincts.

Arggggh!

@wclark316 Ey...language..... but caging animals doesn't always have a bad effect on them and it depends on how your caging them...and as long as their isn't any wrong intention when doing so. but yeah... mostly best to leave them in the wild.
