There are a few names that come to our minds when we talk of #elephantscience! For me, Dr Cynthia Moss has been more than a role model. Her research on African elephant sociality and behaviour has inspired many of us. And I finally got to meet her at her Amboseli Trust for Elephants 🐘❤️

My Bhunte elephant turns 9! Let’s all wish him an amazing year ahead! He’s excited to share a little about his sister, Sano, who is now 4 years old. Sano is learning to grow as an elephant 🐘❤️

In 2024, my colleagues and I organized the @evothan symposium, bringing together experts in comparative thanatology from around the world.
At the time, a French documentary team captured many of us in action: now available to watch here (w/ Eng subtitles): www.arte.tv/fr/videos/11...

I am not frequent here, but would like to inform you about a *Paper Alert*. After a long delay (lost in processing), my paper is finally out! I studied the physiological/metabolic states of wild Asian elephants across three Indian landscapes +

There've been many stories lately about how animals understand death ... but I hope you'll make space for this one. It goes deep on the philosophy & the science; it asks not only what other animals share with us, but what we share with them.

*Paper alert* Congrats, Nachiketha Sharma! Given the limited research on their vocalizations, this paper unravels the complex world of wild Asian elephant acoustics by addressing the simplest yet crucial questions on high-frequency calls. Truly commendable!
