summarize the points made in the lecture about elephants special abilities and behaviors, being sure to explain how they cast doubt on specific points made in the reading about elephants surprising behaviors.
The reading and the listening are both about the elephants which are amazing creatures. The author believes that there are three astonishing behaviors that elephants have. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. she is of the opinion that none of these beliefs are correct and due to misunderstanding of their behaviors.
To begin with, the author suggests that elephants are able to know that they are
going to die soon. In the article, it is mentioned that once the elephant gets old,
He breaks away from the herd and isolates himself near the water where other elephants are buried there. The lecturer challenges this specific argument by asserting that once the elephants get old, their teeth become very weak and they have difficulty in chewing.
As a result, they need soft vegetation near the water and eventually they die there.
Secondly, the writer argues that elephants are artistic and talented that
can draw and paint objects resembling our world like flowers.
The lecturer, however, rebuts this by claiming that humans can train elephants
to do tricks and also can draw lines and patterns.
In other words, the trainer encourages the elephants
by stroking their ears to remember the pattern and
do it without understanding that these lines represent the object like flowers.
Finally, the author posits that elephants get scared of mice more than other dangerous big animals like lions and tigers
In contrast, the lecturer cast doubt on this by explaining that elephants are not familiar with mice, that is why they react fearfully to mice.
In addition, she states that elephants in the zoo are not scared of mice
since they are familiar with them and they do not consider them dangerous or threatening.
Hence, this belief is based on misinterpretation of their natural instinct.
