This dataset comprises the binary data that was obtained from odour-based choice experiments done with 5 semi-tame adult African elephants. 

The first experiment's set of choices consisted of a bucket containing a food reward with no odour and a bucket containing a food reward with the odour of a monoterpene mixture. The second experiment's set of choices consisted of a bucket containing the odour of a monoterpene mixture and a bucket containing the odour of an individual monoterpene.
