User:Daniel Mietchen/Notebook/Vocal learning/Vocal learning in elephants

This is a sideline of my research, one in which I have a strong interest but for which I am currently lacking funds. So if you have an idea related to that, then drop me a line, and we'll see what comes out of that.

A few pointers:

• African elephants are capable of vocal learning (truck sounds and sounds of Asian elephants)
• An Asian elephant mimicking speech sounds (2012 paper, press coverage 2006, 2010, 2012)
