Latest findings about newborn elephants and herd behavior are, “remarkable,” according to behavioral researchers at the University of Oxford in collaboration with Save the Elephants (STE), a non-profit based in Kenya. Researchers investigated how elephant herds alter their behavior after a mother gives birth and found, they don’t.
“It's slightly unexpected,” says Dr. Lucy Taylor, a junior research fellow and the study’s lead researcher whose findings were published in the journal Animal Behaviour.
