Have you ever seen a talking parrot on TV or in someone’s home?Parrots have learned to copy the sounds that people make.But birds are not the only animals that can copy the sounds they hear.Dolphins,bats,and some apes can also copy sounds.Now researches have found that elephants can also copy the sounds around them.
Dr.Thane is a zoologist.She has many researches in the sounds of elephants.When she was in Ohio,she often heard some strange noises made by Malika after sunset.Malika was a 10-year-old African elephant.
Malika lived near a highway.Dr.Thane says,“I could not tell the difference between Malika’s call and the distant trucks’ noise.” She and other scientists studied Malika’s sounds.It turned out that Malika was copying the sounds of the trucks going by.Why would Malika copy trucks which she heard going by on the highway?After copying the new sounds,animals may enjoy practicing them.When they are kept outside of their natural environment,they may copy unusual sounds.That may be why an elephant can copy the sound of trucks.
