My first elephant (and PhD) study supervised by awesome @stoegerangela1 & @NakedPrimate is out🚨! TLDR - We found that 🐘 greet by appropriately targeting visual, tactile, and acoustic gestures at their audience and by combining calls and gestures � 1/12

@hannes_1961 Somehow hadn’t seen this reply yesterday. Thank you! I’ll dig more into this :)

@hannes_1961 Great thank you so much!!

@hannes_1961 @pili_scotland @elephantvoices This is such a beautiful picture! I just love the males!

@pili_scotland @hannes_1961 @elephantvoices Thank you @pili_scotland! It would be helpful to have an idea of how often you would see/hear them (in a day for example) and how often to greet and keep contact there @elephantvoices :). Could be a promising avenue for a comparative study for example!

@hannes_1961 Amazing!

@hannes_1961 @pili_scotland: how often would you say you see males rumbling in Amboseli? Do they usually rumble when greeting and to keep contact or only some times? Thank you!
