The reading and the lecture are both about human interest in elephants which brought several beliefs and elephant behaviors. The author in reading believes that elephants are the most interesting animal on earth and have special abilities among the other animals. However, lecturer cast doubt about the claim made in article and refutes all the theories presented in passage.
First, the author states that elephants would come out from their herds and live alone till they die because they could predict their death. On the contrary, the speaker negates the arguments presented in the passage. He says that old elephants do not have strong teeth so they cannot chew hard food easily. Therefore, they prefer to move near the water, where they get soft vegetation easily and eventually die there. In fact, elephants’ graveyards near water source is the reason of easily available soft food for them.
Secondly, it is mention in the in the article that elephants have natural artistic capabilities. The article notes that elephants can hold paintbrush and draw meaningful pictures like flowers or tree. Although the lecturer refutes this by asserting that elephants do not have ability paint or draw. He elaborates on this by mentioning that elephants’ ears are very sensitive to touch, and people can train them by touching their ears. Thus, elephants can draw certain lines which looks like patterns when their ears are touched by trainers.
Finally, author states that elephants are afraid of mice. The articles also undermine the theory presented in passage. He says that elephant's behavior against mice is because of being unfamiliar with them. The researcher studies in zoo, represents that elephants do not react to mice because mice are familiar to elephants and they are constantly in contact with them. Hence, elephants do not react to mice in the zoo.
