A lot of people are fascinated by animals but not everyone can have enough time to study them in detail.
It means ordinary people have little to no knowledge of their qualities.
Elephants, as we know them, are some of the unique creatures to walk the face of the earth. They can be identified by their sheer size, long trunks and tusks, and large ear flaps.
Animated movies and books often portray elephants to be gentle, adorable and compassionate – and the reality is not different at all.
Elephants are genuinely intelligent, adorable and fun – this baby elephant is proof of that.
This baby elephant was captured laughing as he had a good time with his caretaker (who is totally in love with him) in his natural habitat.
When the caretaker dragged a blue basket away from him, the baby elephant ran to his mother and then back to the man with the basket, giggling throughout the process.
It is generally enjoyable to look at any baby play but when it comes to baby elephants, the cuteness is way more than we can handle!
There are a number of documentary proofs showing elephants eagerly interacting with humans.
In their interaction with homo sapiens, these adorable beasts tend to be passionate and affectionate. Other than their extremely cute and adorable antics, elephants are also known to be fairly intelligent as well.
You might be shocked to know that elephants are capable of identifying languages and differentiating between age, gender, ethnicity, and race, just by hearing one’s voice.
In order to better safeguard themselves against possible threats from humans, these intelligent giants can tell from the voice of a human that they are going to be offensive towards them.
Once they judge this, their compassionate nature goes. And now you are dealing with a 4000 kg, enraged, defensive elephant.
Elephants also have the ability to know the intentions of a man by their body language.
If that is not enough to make you believe the intelligence of elephants, just know that they have the basic concepts of how to use tools with their trunks.
There is a lot of evidence of elephants scratching unreachable areas of their body using sticks.
Elephants also show empathy for their fellows. A number of times these adorable beasts are seen comforting other elephants going through a rough patch by stroking them with their trunks.
