    That’s awesome! Welcome! I’m also quite new to the subject, I just noticed in this recent AI explosion that animal communication decoding was coming up quite a bit and thought it would be a neat idea for a community.

    I vaguely remember hearing that story of the wounded elephant as well, but didn’t realize that they had never been to the hospital before, that’s amazing! I would love to see more about that.

    I have heard some of elephants language being decoded, for instance they seem to have a sound that means bee, and in fact there is even a website that claims to be an english/elephant translator, but I suspect that it must be quite limited.

      That’s all really neat!

      I was skeptical about the translator but the fine print says it’s run by the David Sheldrake Trust which is the same group that runs the elephant orphanage. It’s definitely a cool awareness tool anyway.

        Nice, that certainly does lend it some credence. They must have so much data to use in making it. Great to know!
