Phoenicopterus chilensis
Research
- Communicate, most of the time, throught touch.
- Bathing is essential to elephants. It helps protect the elephant from pesky insects and parasites.

3. The dirt will harden into a mud-like mask on the elephant, which it then rubs off along with the parasites and insects trapped in it.
-Very Social
-Spends most of the day preening, feeding, resting and bathing
-Devote considerable amount of time displaying before, during and after breeding
Sampling Method: All Occurrence
Behaviors Observed:
1. Preening-distributes oil from the base of the feathers
2. Resting-rests standing up
3. Vocalized Communication-domino effect
4. Mating Displays-as common as vocalization
5. Feeding and Drinking
6. Resting and Nesting

Sampling Method: Scan Sampling
Behaviors Observed:
1. Feeding-definitely reflects research; wraps the end of its trunk around a patch of grass and pulls up on it, then puts it into its mouth.
2. Drinking- uses its trunk to suck water in and spray it into its mouth.
3. Resting- stood there with its tail and trunk swinging
4. Communication- touched one elephant with its trunk
