Scent of a Hunter.

The article discusses research being done on the ability of elephants in Kenya to distinguish two tribes based on odors and colors. It references a study led by Lucy Bates and Richard Byrne published online in "Current Biology." The two groups referred to include the elephant-spearing Maasai tribe and the Kamba tribe that pose no threats to the animals. The study reports that elephants moved away 27 percent faster and 65 percent farther from the Maasai scents than from Kamba odors.
