In this set of materials, the reading passage states that elephants are fascinating and have special abilities among other animals. However, the lecturer believes that those behaviors are because of human misunderstanding and refute them all by offering several evidences.
First of all, it is mentioned in the article that elephants know their time of death and when they become old, they come out of herd and go near water. On the contrary, the professor argues that they do it because of practical reasons to help them survive longer. When elephants get old and weak, their teeth are not able to chew the food and they need softer vegetation which are near water and eventually die there. In fact, elephant graveyards near water is because of more available nutritions for them.
Furthermore, the passage asserts that elephants can use paintbrush and draw meaningful pictures such as flower or tree. In contrast, the lecturer explains that it is not because of artistic ability that they have. Elephant's ear is sensitive to touch and people can train them to draw a specific line by touching their ears, then, after painting certain lines, the picture looks like a flower and sun while they do not understand the purpose of the picture. Therefore, human can teach elephants to use paintbrush while elephants cannot recognize the subject.
Finally, the reading claims that elephants have a fear of mice. Conversely, the professor expresses that elephant's behavior against mice is because of being unfamiliar with them which is a natural instinct. The studies show that in the zoo, they do not react to mice which means they are not afraid of mice. Hence, elephants do not consider mice dangerous when they get familiar with them.
