Low rumble alarm call in response to the sound of human voicesafrican elephants make a specific alarm call in response to the danger of humans according to a new study of wild elephants in Kenya.

Whilst the'bee'and'human'rumbling alarm calls might sound similar to our ears there are important differences at low (infrasonic) frequencies that elephants can hear

but humans can't.'Elephants appear to be able to manipulate their vocal tract (mouth tongue trunk and so on) to shape the sounds of their rumbles to make different alarm calls'said Dr Lucy King of Save the Elephants

'We concede the possibility that these alarm calls are simply a by-product of elephants running away that is just an emotional response to the threat that other elephants pick up on'Lucy tells me.'

'On the other hand we think it is also possible that the rumble alarms are akin to words in human language

and that elephants voluntarily and purposefully make those alarm calls to warn others about specific threats.

Our research results here show that African elephant alarm calls can differentiate between two types of threat

'Elephant'human'alarm call rumblesignificantly the reaction to the human alarm call included none of the head-shaking behaviour displayed by elephants hearing the bee alarm.

''and the''human alarm rumble''is the same as a vowel-change in human language
