US scientists have discovered that elephants call to each other using their names. While dolphins and parrots are known to address each other by mimicking sounds -- elephants are the first non-human species found to create names for each other, which they express as a series of rumbles. George Wittemeyer is the chairman of Save the Elephants’ Scientific Board, a professor at Colorado State University, and a co-author of the new research. He spoke to Newshour's Tim Franks from Samburu, in central Kenya.

Will scientists ever figure out their language so that we can communicate with them?

PO1 H Gene Lawrence Language is an Amazing Thing! I'm a "Technician" by Trade, Which Means I had to Translate "Technical Manuals" Written by 'Scientists and Engineers" I was at Master at Arms for Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command which Made Me an "Interior Decorator" for "Astronauts" and "Fighter Jocks". My Heritage? German American raised in the Catholic Faith, One Uncle worked on the Apollo Project another a "Microbiologist" for Monsanto, If I Appear Harsh Sometimes? I was Raised and Trained to be a "Technical" Terrorist! No Patience for those Ignorant of Science!
