Many of you may have seen videos of elephants being chased by humans using fireballs (hula party), and I have found that such driving operations disrupt elephant physiological and metabolic health! Again, we do not know the long-term cost of such practices! Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thank you for sharing our work @amcell.bsky.social #Asianelephant ecology in the context of human-altered landscapes!

Are #Asianelephants behaviourally flexible? If so, how costly can it be? Most elephant studies come from protected areas with minimal human impact! That’s not the whole story! Here's our perspective on redefining elephant behaviour in human-altered landscapes 🐘 doi.org/10.1111/eth....

Namibian desert elephants are adapted to the desert. I really liked this video! Here you can see, an elephant sliding down the dune! Seems like sliding down is one of the common behaviours while moving down hill! 🐘 Elephants behaving like "elephants"😎🤟🏽! #Namibia #Elephants #NamibElephants

And we have Spinosaurus 😇🤟🏽 #FossilFriday (C) @science.org

Well, "A" discussed her ideas with "B" in the hope of having "B" as a collaborator! But, "B" started the work using "A"'s ideas! It cost a lot of mental pressure and trauma to "A"! "A" thought academia is scary!!! Timely article, I must say! ... www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Normal world: We got scammed! Academia: Theft of scientific ideas! (Overtaking someone's projects, claiming those as their own ideas. Taking advantage of one's humility, mistaking it for weakness.) 😕

There are a few names that come to our minds when we talk of #elephantscience! For me, Dr Cynthia Moss has been more than a role model. Her research on African elephant sociality and behaviour has inspired many of us. And I finally got to meet her at her Amboseli Trust for Elephants 🐘❤️

My Bhunte elephant turns 9! Let’s all wish him an amazing year ahead! He’s excited to share a little about his sister, Sano, who is now 4 years old. Sano is learning to grow as an elephant 🐘❤️ bhuntelephant.com/2025/12/17/s...

In 2024, my colleagues and I organized the @evothan symposium, bringing together experts in comparative thanatology from around the world. At the time, a French documentary team captured many of us in action: now available to watch here (w/ Eng subtitles): www.arte.tv/fr/videos/11... #animalgrief

Who would have thought that Indian Rollers would shift to "Near Threatened" from "Least Concern"? Sighted these two and many during my elephant fieldwork in the Karnataka forest! #IndianRollers #Birds #IUCN

My Bhunte is back with the story of his elephant friends, Oni and Mithi, from West Bengal, India 🐘😓💔 bhuntelephant.com/2025/10/20/h...

I am not frequent here, but would like to inform you about a *Paper Alert*. After a long delay (lost in processing), my paper is finally out! I studied the physiological/metabolic states of wild Asian elephants across three Indian landscapes + www.nature.com/articles/s41...

There've been many stories lately about how animals understand death ... but I hope you'll make space for this one. It goes deep on the philosophy & the science; it asks not only what other animals share with us, but what we share with them. My latest, for @nautil.us: nautil.us/how-animals-...

*Paper alert* Congrats, Nachiketha Sharma! Given the limited research on their vocalizations, this paper unravels the complex world of wild Asian elephant acoustics by addressing the simplest yet crucial questions on high-frequency calls. Truly commendable! link.springer.com/article/10.1...
