Talking to animals is not nearly as difficult as it may seem. We are certainly not speaking to a ‘poor dumb creature’. Through the individual animal, we are speaking with a highly evolved being far in advance of ourselves. That’s why if we really want an answer to a particular question in life, one of the best solutions is to ask an animal.

African elephants make a specific alarm call in response to the danger of humans, according to a new study of wild elephants in Kenya. Researchers from Oxford University, Save the Elephants, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom carried out a series of audio experiments in which recordings of the voices of the Samburu, a local tribe from North Kenya, were played to resting elephants.
