Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they challenge the specific points made in the reading passage
The reading and the lecture offer two opposing views on many interesting beliefs about elephant demeanors. Whereas the author of the reading discusses the three elephant behaviors, the lecturer suggests that the facts have been provided about elephants, come from the misunderstanding about this huge mammal. She casts doubt on the main points made in the text by explaining three reasons.
First, according to the text, elderly elephants abandon their herds and they find an area near water to die alone, because they know that their death is close. However, the lecturer argues that the main reason of abandoning herds is that elephants' tooth get longer by their age and old ones have many difficulties to eat hard vegetables, so they decide to find soft vegetables which are easier to eat for them, and these kinds of herbs are been found near water, where is known as "elephant graveyards".
Secondly, the text states that elephants have artistic capability, that they create many fantastic paintings by brush. Nevertheless, the lecturer believes that the elephants' ear is very sensitive to touch, and their trainers use this fact and teach them how to move brushes. In this way, through any ear touching, elephants simply move brushstroke to draw lines. Consequently, a specific painting will be drawing.
Finally, the author of the reading alleges that elephants have strong fear of mice, and in the case of seeing them, elephants would escape. Even though, the lecturer asserts that the fear reaction of elephants is due to the fact that they are unfamiliar with this kind of animal. She explains that in the zoo, where elephants have the chance of being with other animals such as mice, they are never been scared of mice.
