In the Presence of Elephants and Whales - We were made and set here, the writer Annie Dillard once wrote, "to give voice to our astonishments." Katy Payne is a renowned acoustic biologist with a Quaker sensibility. And she’s found her astonishment in listening to two of the world’s most exotic creatures. She has decoded the language of elephants and was among the first scientists to discover that whales are composers of song.

Quotes
But we shouldn't assume that because an animal does poorly on a test, it doesn't have self-recognition or a [|theory of mind]. It's quite likely we've done a poorly designed experiment. For a long time, people thought chimpanzees weren't good at recognizing faces. Then someone had the bright idea of testing chimps on other chimps' faces, rather than our own. - Jonathan Balcombe, [|How to have fun like monkeys]
