<p style="position:absolute;top:185px;left:108px;white-space:nowrap" class="ft17">Before being able to answer this important question we need to ask: ”Does an elephant ever remember <br/>a name in the first place?” It appears they do. A recent study in <i>Nature</i>, the world’s most prestigious <br/>science journal, showed elephants are the first non-human species known to use names that do not <br/>involve imitation. Imitation is what dolphins and parrots do. </p>
<p style="position:absolute;top:470px;left:612px;white-space:nowrap" class="ft16"> </p>
<p style="position:absolute;top:500px;left:337px;white-space:nowrap" class="ft14">Dophins only imitate other dolphins. </p>

<p style="position:absolute;top:864px;left:108px;white-space:nowrap" class="ft17">They showed they recognize and react to a call addressed to them, but not to others. The adults would <br/>address their calves, but the kids took a while to learn how to do it. They used from trumpeting to <br/>infrasound. A low rumble was the most common. I would imagine the highest trumpet frequency would <br/>be mum calling the kids: </p>
<p style="position:absolute;top:963px;left:326px;white-space:nowrap" class="ft14">“Stop doing that and come here NOW!” </p>
<p style="position:absolute;top:997px;left:108px;white-space:nowrap" class="ft14">This behaviour demonstrates the ability for abstract thought. </p>

<p style="position:absolute;top:222px;left:108px;white-space:nowrap" class="ft64">But there is a catch. These warthogs are eating marulas in elephant dung. They’ve gone right through <br/>without being digested. </p>
<p style="position:absolute;top:591px;left:752px;white-space:nowrap" class="ft61"> </p>
<p style="position:absolute;top:620px;left:108px;white-space:nowrap" class="ft64">But maybe riper fermented ones would work? Scientists think not but folk tales are not necessarily <br/>wrong. What<i> is</i> true is the animals in the video were fed alcohol by the film makers. It’s fake news!  </p>
<p style="position:absolute;top:675px;left:108px;white-space:nowrap" class="ft64">An even worse example. We all know when lemming numbers get out of control they commit suicide by <br/>jumping into the sea, right? This was graphically shown in this Disney documentary: </p>

<p style="position:absolute;top:765px;left:108px;white-space:nowrap" class="ft64">Disney filmed this in Alberta, the landlocked province of Canada. The film makers were forcing the <br/>lemmings to jump into a river. There are no lemmings in Alberta. They are further north. Complete <br/>bullshit. They are indeed mousey little rodents but Walt obviously had a very selective rodent love for <br/>Micky and Minnie. Is Mickey Rat in the good books? </p>
