Batyr (1969-1993) was an Asian Elephant claimed to be able to use a large amount of meaningful human speech. Living in a zoo in Kazakhstan, Batyr was widely reported as having a vocabulary of more than 20 phrases. A recording of Batyr saying "Batyr is good","Batyr is hungry" and using words such as "drink" and "give" was played on Kazakh state radio in 1980. Like all cases of talking animals, these claims are subject to the observer-expectancy effect; they may be a meaningless form of mimicry, and are subject to fabrication for many reasons.
