Genetic Study Links Angola's 'Ghost Elephants' to Distant Populations
A genetic study has revealed that Angola's 'ghost elephants,' a group of nocturnal elephants in a remote wetland, are genetically distinct from any previously sequenced population. The study, led by Stanford scientists, found that these elephants are most closely related to populations in Namibia, hundreds of miles away. The research involved analyzing DNA from elephant dung, which provided insights into the elephants' genetic makeup. This discovery is part of a broader effort to understand the origins and movements of these elusive animals, which have only been seen by locals.
