I was listening to a podcast where the topic of elephant names came up. You know, the fact that elephants have names for each other. They also brought up this "experiment" (in hindsight it's more of a cruel prank):
"A researcher once played a recording of an elephant who had died. The sound was coming from a speaker hidden in a thicket. The family went wild calling, looking all around. The dead elephant’s daughter called for days afterward. The researchers never again did such a thing."
