A new study in Kenya’s Samburu National Reserve shows elephants remain calm around drones, challenging earlier assumptions that the animals were frightened by the devices. Researchers say quieter, better-designed drones now allow scientists to observe elephant behavior from above without causing stress or disturbance. The findings could transform wildlife monitoring and conservation practices, enabling safer, more detailed tracking of elephant movements and social interactions. | CGTN Africa
