Mais que viennent faire les \u00e9l\u00e9phants sur le blog d’une traductrice ? Tr\u00e8s bonne question \ud83d\ude42 Un traducteur est un passionn\u00e9 de mots et de langues, et donc, de langages. Et n’existe-t-il pas une multitude de langages parmi tous les \u00eatres vivants peuplant notre belle Terre ? Bon, d’accord… J’avoue aussi que j’aime particuli\u00e8rement les \u00e9l\u00e9phants : c’est leur incroyable intelligence et leur sensibilit\u00e9 extr\u00eamement d\u00e9velopp\u00e9e que j’admire chez eux.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Par exemple, saviez-vous que le cerveau d’un \u00e9l\u00e9phant \u00e9tait le plus gros de tous les animaux terrestres\u00a0? Selon des \u00e9tudes, les pachydermes seraient capables de diff\u00e9rencier les langues humaines. Ainsi, lorsqu’ils entendent la langue du peuple Masai, peuple guerrier, ils quittent le lieu o\u00f9 ils se trouvent pour aller s’abriter. Mais attention… Uniquement lorsqu’il s’agit d’hommes. Lorsqu’ils entendent des femmes ou des enfants, ils ne les consid\u00e8rent pas comme un danger. Tout comme lorsqu’ils reconnaissent la langue de peuples pacifistes, ils consid\u00e8rent que la situation ne pr\u00e9sente pas de risques particuliers. Je trouve cela incroyable. Cela implique qu’ils savent d\u00e9tecter le sexe et l’\u00e2ge des \u00eatres humains afin d’analyser s’ils repr\u00e9sentent une menace pour eux.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Venons-en \u00e0 la communication. En effectuant des recherches, je suis tomb\u00e9e sur un site surprenant, qui permet de traduire des phrases humaines en langage \u00e9l\u00e9phant. Il s’agit du lien suivant : https:\/\/helloinelephant.com\/#translate<\/a> qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 cr\u00e9\u00e9 par le David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, une association \u0153uvrant au sauvetage et \u00e0 la r\u00e9habilitation des \u00e9l\u00e9phanteaux orphelins. Il suffit d’entrer le mot que vous souhaitez entendre et voir traduit (bien entendu, le vocabulaire est limit\u00e9, mais testez avec des termes simples tels que \u00ab Bonjour \u00bb ou \u00ab Je t’aime \u00bb). Le r\u00e9sultat appara\u00eetra sous forme de barrissement et de vid\u00e9o vous montrant le mouvement de la trompe qui correspond au terme recherch\u00e9.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Eh oui, tout comme nous, les \u00e9l\u00e9phants utilisent des \u00ab mots \u00bb qu’ils associent \u00e0 des gestes pour communiquer entre eux. Le toucher et l’odorat jouent \u00e9galement un r\u00f4le important dans leurs \u00e9changes. Leurs vocalisations comprennent\u00a0 des grondements, infrasons et barrissements. Selon la scientifique Caitlin Elizabeth O\u2019Connell-Rodwell : \u00ab\u00a0Ces vocalisations facilitent les relations entre les \u00e9l\u00e9phants et leur permettent de collaborer entre eux. Elles sont \u00e0 la mesure d\u2019une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 complexe et d\u00e9montrent qu\u2019un autre groupe d\u2019animaux sociaux peut s\u2019organiser comme nous \u00e0 l\u2019aide d\u2019\u00e9missions sonores\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Vous en avez sans doute d\u00e9j\u00e0 entendu parler, mais tout comme nous, les \u00e9l\u00e9phants pleurent leurs morts. Lorsqu’ils tombent sur le cadavre d’un des leurs, ils s’arr\u00eatent chacun quelques secondes \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 et le sondent de leur trompe ou de leurs pattes. J’ai un jour vu un reportage qui m’a boulevers\u00e9e. On y expliquait que des \u00e9l\u00e9phants revenaient chaque ann\u00e9e devant la maison de leur bienfaiteur, \u00e0 la date d’anniversaire de sa mort. Cela implique donc qu’ils ont, comme nous, la notion du temps. J’ai \u00e9galement vu un petit \u00e9l\u00e9phanteau rejet\u00e9 par sa m\u00e8re, qui avait d\u00fb en \u00eatre s\u00e9par\u00e9, qui ne cessait de pleurer. Ou encore un \u00e9l\u00e9phant d’Afrique aux magnifiques d\u00e9fenses qui tentait de les cacher car il avait parfaitement compris qu’elles faisaient l’objet de convoitises de la part des braconniers.<\/p>\n

Voil\u00e0, j’esp\u00e8re que cet article vous a plu et que l’humanit\u00e9 tout enti\u00e8re comprendra un jour que les animaux sont comme nous : des \u00eatres sensibles qui m\u00e9ritent tout autant que nous de vivre en paix sur Terre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
