Elephant Learns To Speak Korean

[C. Flower]

All we need now is a person who can speak elephant

An Asian elephant named Koshik can imitate human speech, saying words in Korean that can be understood by speakers of the language, researchers from the University of Vienna have said.

It is unclear why Koshik started mimicking human speech but cognitive biologists Angela Stoeger and Tecumseh Fitch suggest in research published in the journal Current Biology that it might be related to his experiences as a juvenile.

Koshik was the only elephant living at the Everland Zoo in South Korea for about five years in his youth, with only people for company during an important phase for bonding and development.

The keepers did say however

어디 시야에 톤 코끼리를 숨기려면 어떻게해야합니까? 장소는 당신이 원하는!
