“Malika was not the only elephant that can copy other sounds,” Dr.Thane says.Camero is a 24-year-old male African elephant.He spent 15 years with two female Asian elephants.Asian elephants can make chirping sounds (sounds made by birds) to talk with one another.African elephants usually do not make chirping sounds.But Camero now does.He is copying his Asian elephant friends.Dr.Thane says that elephants need to form bonds with their family and friends.She says,“They make sounds to communicate with each other.When they are separated,they use sounds to keep in contact.”

The finding that the parrot,dolphins,humans,and elephants can learn to copy other sounds shows that copying is one way that animals and people make new friends and keep old ones.
