Assessing the dyadic social relationships of female african (<ce:italic>Loxodonta africana</ce:italic>) and asian (<ce:italic>Elephas maximus</ce:italic>) zoo elephants using proximity, tactile contact, and keeper surveys

• Elephants spent less time and were more variable in expressing tactile contact than proximity. • Keepers had excellent levels of agreement in rating elephant bond strength. • More time and consistency in proximity by elephants predicted “strong or strongest bond” ratings by keepers.
