Humans have long been fascinated by elephants, the largest land animal in the modern world. Social animals that live in herds, elephants are native to both Africa and Asia. Their large ears, long trunk, and long life span have made elephants one of the most captivating creatures on Earth. Our long-standing interest in elephants has led to several beliefs about surprising elephant behaviors
The article states that several beliefs about surprising elephant behaviors fascinated humans since humans are acquainted with the creature. And provide three reasons for support. However, the professor explains that this fascinating due to a misunderstanding of elephant behaviors makes people believe in elephant unnatural behavior long-standing interest. And refutes each of the author's reasons.
First, the reading states that the elephants know that they are nearing the end of their lives, then go to "elephant graveyards" to die alone. The professor refutes this point by stating that knowing death time, maybe due to practical reasons such as destruction of teeth of elephants or other behavioral activity, she mentions that elephants when their teeth being unusable, they go too near the water and eat soft plant tissue and eventually die close to the body of water.
Second, the article claims that elephants seem to have artistic abilities such as drawings, flowers, other elephants, even themselves. However, the professor contends that if any individual watches elephants when they are painting, trainers of elephants stroking the elephant's ears and teach them how to paint and train and encourage them to paint a specific pattern.
Third, the reading avers that elephants have a fear of mice, and when seeing the mice, the elephants backed away from the mice and left the area to avoid them. The lecturer opposes this point by saying that the mice unfamiliar to an elephant, and the elephant has an instinct to away from a treat like mice. If mice are introduced to a place where the elephant lives, the elephant does not avoid them.
