The reading passage and the lecture are both about the surprising behaviors of elephants. The Author of the reading mentions three different behaviors of elephants. The lecturer challenges each of the claims made by the author. She is of the opinion that the mentioned facts are not true.
To begin with, the author claims that elephants can sense their death. In the article, it is said that old elephants, when sense their death, get separated with their herd and leave to another site called elephant graveyard. This specific point is challenged by the lecturer. She claims that old elephants do not leave their herd because they have sensed their death but they leave the herd to look for soft food which they can chew easily. Additionally, she says that they generally find softer food nearby water, so most of the bones are found there.
Secondly, the author says that elephants have artistic abilities. The article mentions that elephants can paint on the canvas using paintbrush holding it in their trunk. The lecturer rebuts the point by claiming that elphants cannot represent things through art, rather they are trained to hold paintbrush and paint on canvas. Additionally, she states that elephants' ears are sensitive and whenever the trainer touches their ears, they draw some already taught pattern.
Finally, the author posits that the elephants, despite have a large body, have a fear of mice. The article says that the same point has been proved in recent scientific experiments. IN contrast, the lecturer poistion is that they do not fear from mice, they are just not familier with mice. She elaborates on this by bringing up the points that the elephants in zoo do not fear from mice beacuse they are know and recognize mice.
