Animals communicate with one another all the time, but few species have the ability to call each other by individual names.
Dolphins are known to invent their own signature whistle as names, while parrots have also been known to use names with each other – and now new research has found that African elephants have found their own way to call each other by name too.
In this episode of the Briefing, lead author of the study and behavioural ecologist Mickey Pardo joins Bension Siebert to explain how African elephants use rumble sounds to communicate.

Fiona Harvey is a Scottish lawyer who was depicted as a stalker in the Netflix hit, Baby Reindeer. She’s denied the claims and is suing the streaming giant for $170m.
The program depicted Harvey – via a character named Martha – as a serial stalker who bombarded the British comedian Richard Gadd with tens of thousands of emails and text messages. She says it never happened. The show said she was convicted of stalking and spent nine months in prison. Harvey says it’s nonsense.
In this episode of The Briefing, we take a deep dive on Harvey’s motivation to sue – and what her chances are of beating a streaming behemoth like Netflix.
