Elephants

The author remarks several beliefs about elephant behaviors. The lecturer, however, points to the inaccuracies in each of those beliefs.

First, the writer makes the point that elephants could realize who will die in the near future time, so they leave their herds to go to specific locations like lakes to die alone. However, the lecturer demonstrates a different idea that elderly elephants lose the power of chewing food because of their weak teeth. So they would prefer to live near lakes to graze softer vegetables that grow near bodies of water.

Second, according to the reading, elephants have an artistic ability because some elephants have been known to paints tangible things like flowers, other elephants also themselves. The lecturer, by contrast, suggests that elephants may draw those paintings through someone's help. In other words, their tutor touch different location of elephants' ears to direct them to draw different things. So drawing is not an inherent elephants' ability.

Finally, the author states that elephants scare mice base on the Roman philosopher, and some scientists wrote. They said elephants are afraid mice that could not harm them more than hazardous animals like lion or tigers. Besides, scientists preserve when elephants observe mice near their herd; they flee to avoid them. By contrast, the professor refutes that elephants would scare them because they do not know them in their living environments. The lecturer also provides an example to support his idea that elephants who live in the zoo have never scared mice because they know mice do not harm them.
