I’ve written about Angry Elephants venting their frustrations on vans rather than people. Now I’d like to show you that elephants also can cooperate with each other at a high level. I think it is interesting that, without language skills, these elephants seem to know when to:

  1. wait for help,
  2. find creative ways to accomplish a task, and
  3. when not to try.

Just think what they could do if they could talk!

The following was reported at the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, published on March 7, 2011.

Enjoy.
