Videos shared by researchers show how the elephants respond to call recordings addressed to them. In one, an elephant named Margaret appears to almost immediately perk up to a rumble recording addressed to her.

It's amazing to me that elephants use, among I would assume others, the name Margaret.

I like how this comment aknowledges the possibility that all elephants call each-other Margaret.
