MatteusMaximus, Elephants have emotions similar to humans. They cry and shed tears. They have been extremely mistreated by humans throughout the years. After many years of working hard labor in circuses , laws were finally made banning this abuse.

they protect each other in a group. they are very smart. they are amazing animals! we need to protect them from poachers for their ivory tusks. the same with rinos. there is one white rhino left in the world that is protected under guard. how sad what happens to them for their tusks. humans who do this are evil

Elephants are beautiful, sensitive and emotional animals. I've been lucky to spend time in the Kruger National Park and seen them in their natural habitat where they are the most beautiful. Long may they continue to thrive and breed.

It’s extremely sad and depressing that they could be extinct within our lifetime. We should hang our heads in shame.

I've seen shows on TV where an elephant will carefully walk around a turtle on the ground so as to not step on it.

I have always loved elephants and have a great respect for them. I donate to Sanctuary for Elephants every chance I get. Amazing beautiful souls!

I know they grieve just like humans And they are very watchful over their calves even the calves that belong to other elephants

Elephants are extremely intelligent creatures. Their herds are comprised of Female relatives however the oldest member leads the herd to watering holes and ALWAYS remembers where they are no matter how long it's been since they were there last.

Hey, if you're planning to visit elephants, especially in Thailand where I just went, make sure you go to sanctuaries that treat them well. There are a lot of shady ones out there, usually the ones that let tourists ride the elephants. You'll end up feeling sorry for the poor creatures when you see them chained up, used as attractions, or mistreated. They're such gentle giants. (And don't even think about approaching the wild ones, they're not used to humans.)

40 000 divided into as many as 150 000 individual units. Are they fractions of muscles? What is a unit here. It seems meaningless.
