three beliefs on elephants and some information about them
The text discusses three beliefs about elephants and provides some evidence to support them. On the other hand, the professor goes against stated claims and by mentioning some contradictory information, states why she disagrees with the author.
First, the text claims that elephants are aware of their death. It adds that when an elephant gets old and realizes it is near to death, will leave its herd and continue to live near water resources, called elephant graveyards, till it dies. In contrast, the professor states we cannot assume elephant are aware of their death just by the fact they leave their herds as they get old. She continues that when an elephant gets old, cannot chew some special foods. As a result, it prefers to go for looking some softer vegetation which are found near the water resources and lives there till it dies.
Second, as the text, elephants are the only animals besides humans which have artistic abilities and can paint. The professor goes against this point and states that those elephants which can paint are just trained and are not aware of the things they have painted. She also adds that elephants have sensitive ears, and their trainers can teach them to paint some straight lines, and encourage them to repeat their work by touching their ears.
Third, the author claims that elephants are afraid of mice, and as a proof, mentions one of the Roman philosophers who had the same idea. The professor refutes this point and states that the fear of mice is just due to this point that elephants are not familiar with them, and it is a natural instinct. We can also hear from her that elephants which are living in zoos know mice and have realized that they are not a threat for them. As a result, these elephants do not show any sign of being scared by them. In this way, she disagrees with the claim made by the author.
