Elephants are beautiful, intelligent animals that are not only smart but creative as well. And like humans, they are also very social animals who value relationships.
Elephants Never Forget
We have all heard how elephants never forget. And this is not just a myth. Elephants have been known to bond with other elephants, humans, and even other animals and instantly recognize them years after being separated from them.
Elephants have the largest brain of any animal that is remarkably similar to the human brain. So is it any wonder that they are able to function similarly? From beautiful paintings to solving math problems, elephants are indeed smart and creative animals.
Elephants Show Emotions Like We Do
Elephants are also similar to humans as they show various emotions. Female elephants can suffer from post-partum depression and elephants also mourn the loss of loved ones.
Abuse
With the extreme intelligence and beauty of the elephant, it is no wonder that there are so many people who love and respect these magnificent creatures. And it is also a tragedy that they have suffered from poaching for their ivory tusks and other abuse by mankind. It really is unfortunate that mankind would show this kind of abuse to elephants or any other animal, which is usually for profit.
