阅读理解
Elephants are able to differentiate
between ethnicities(
种族
) and
sexes, and can tell an adult from
a
child
—
all from the sound of
a human voice.
This
is
according
to
a
study
in
which
researchers
played
voice
recordings
to
wild
African
elephants.
The animals
showed more fear when they heard the voices of
adult Maasai men.
Livestock-
herding
Maasai
people
do
come
into
conflict
with
elephants,
and
this
suggests
that
animals have adapted to
specifically listen for and avoid them.
The study is published in
Proceedings
of
the
National
Academy
of
Sciences
.
Prof.
Karen McComb and Dr Graeme Shannon from the
University of Sussex led the
explained
that in previous research they had used similar
playback experiments to show that elephants
could tell
—
from
the sound of a lion's
roar
—
whether the animal was
a female or a more dangerous
male.
Prof. McComb wanted to find out if the
animals used their very sharp sense of hearing to
identify
a potential danger from
humans.
The scientists recorded Maasai
men, women and children saying, in their own
language, “Look,
look over there, a
group of elephants are coming.”
They also recorded Kamba men saying
this phrase.
While
cattle-
herding Maasai people often come
across free-
ranging elephants, which
can result in
violent
conflict,
the
Kamba
people's
more
agricultural
lifestyle
does
not
generally
bring
them
into
aggressive touch with the animals.
When the team
played
recordings of these different
voices
through a hidden loudspeaker, they
found that elephant family groups
reacted more fearfully in response to the voice of
a Maasai man,
than to a Kamba man's
voice.
And
the
adult
male
Maasai
voices
encouraged
far
more
of
these
defensive
reactions
than
the
voices of women or boys.
1
．
How did the
researchers get to know the elephants' special
ability of identification?
