Individual innovation is considered one sign of intelligence within species, and elephants are among the animals that researchers have long taken an interest in because of their sophisticated approach to problem solving. A newly published study in the journal Animal Behaviour details findings from a six-month-long study documenting the abilities of individual wild Asian elephants to access food by solving puzzles that unlocked storage boxes. "This is the first research study to show that individual wild elephants have different willingness and abilities to problem solve in order to get food," said the study's lead author Sarah Jacobson, a psychology doctoral candidate studying animal cognition at the CUNY Graduate Center and Hunter College. "This is important knowledge, because how animals think and innovate may influence their ability to survive in environments that are rapidly changing due to human presence."

My art print of Elephants is now available in my store. It includes all three species and also the subspecies. I know the Bornean Elephant is not yet a subspecies but I decided to include it because analysis indicates that it will be elevated as a subspecies soon.

Smart, social, adaptable—they stick together, and they grieve dead relatives. We’re still learning about Asian elephants.

Indian Elephant Elephas maximus indicus Family: Elephantidae Status and Conservation: Endangered

There are several notable distinctions between Asian Elephants and African Elephants. Firstly, Asian Elephants have significantly smaller ears than their African counterparts. Additionally, Asian Elephants have a pointed head shape, while African Elephants have a flatter head. In terms of size, Asian Elephants are considerably smaller. Furthermore, Asian Elephants have a long history of domestication...
