Asian elephants in the wild and captivity adapt well to changing environments, with the former often facing increasing conflict with humans due to habitat loss. To investigate how behavioral traits and social access may explain behavioral flexibility in elephants, we studied captive Asian elephants in zoos to identify behavioral measures of problem solving and innovation. We presented six elephants in Oklahoma and eight in Syracuse with an extractive foraging device comprised of three compartments over two testing phases. The first phase device had three ‘push solution’ doors to establish a learned solution for each subject. The second phase device consisted of three different-solution doors (push, pull and slide). Across both locations, eight elephants solved the entire device, three solved two doors, and three solved only one door. There was no significant difference in problem-solving success across sex (U = 19.5, p = .685), origin (U = 17.5, p = .720), and zoo location (U = 19, p = .513). Latency to solve the first door decreased for eleven of the elephants in their second session, possibly as a result of learning. Latency to first ever contact, our neophilia score, ranged from 0.755 to 88.746 seconds, but did not correlate with success (r= .382, p= .246). We will also present variance in motor diversity and the elephants’ typical social groupings, as well as discuss implications that this study may have for human-elephant conflict mitigation.
