"Elephants are . . . able to recognize all the members of their own clan. This helps them avoid getting lost in unknown herds. They can recall important places (like potential sources of food and water), even if they had not been there for many years – even decades. Elephants not only remember their clan members, but also other creatures who have left a strong impression on them. For instance, a pair of elephants who had performed in a circus together were able to recognize each other when they met more than 20 years later! Their recognition skill is not only limited to other elephants; they are also found to bond with humans whom they had briefly met decades earlier! 19 Jan 2022 Ashish "Science ABC"
