elephant that does math-video

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have found an Asian elephant named Ashya can add small quantities together and correctly identify which is larger.
For example, when researcher Naoko Irie-Sugimoto dropped three apples into one bucket and one apple into a second, then four more apples into the first and five into the second, Ashya correctly identified that the first bucket contained more apples and began munching on her tasty prize.
Nine times out of 10, she went to the bucket with most fruit - even if it only had one apple more.
Mya Thompson, of Cornell University, said: "Elephants might need to count to make sure every animal is still in a herd.
