Elephants are large animals that are not scared of anyone.
These animals tend to live in large groups and tribes. Elephants are social animals and thus, depend on their tribe and group for their survival. Living in a group has inculcated emotions in them.
Animals, although, are different for humans and have different emotions, if they have any. Scientists have accepted that elephants represent emotions just like humans. Affection, hatred, sympathy, anger are a few they show.
All the female animals in the tribe make loud noises out of their trunk as a celebration when a baby is born in the tribe. It is a time of utter joy for them and they love to express it out.
Elephant mothers even go into depression or a state of despondency when her calf dies. These all show that elephants are human-like when it comes to emotions.
Elephants are moody and you never know when they decided what they want to do. Although the animals are temperamental they are also very friendly and show too much affection for animals as well as humans around them.
