Humans have long been fascinated by elephants, the largest land animal in the modern world.
Both the reading and the lecture talk about the facanating facts about elephants. In the reading the author mentions a few common believes about them. While in the lecture the professor cast doubt on them as they are not scientifically accurate. She thinks these behavior patterns are due to other causes.
The author states that the old elephants are aware of their approaching death. In the lecture, the professor argues the behavior of old elephants when they are old comes from their inability to chew well. She says that the old elephant are owning weaker teeths. As the result, they need to find the vegatations which are softer than what the rest of elephants are eating in the herd. Consquently, the old elephants need to leave the herd in order to find food, and they will end up near water where the vegetation is green and soft. As they are old they might die when they are near the water, which is called elephants graveyard.
Furthermore, the author mentions that the elephants are having artistic ability which is exclusive to human. The professor refutes that by pointing out that the elephants are not aware of what they are doing. She says the elephants are being tammed by the humans to do particular brush strokes while they do not know clearly what they are doing.
Finally, the author in the reading asserts that the elephants are afraid of mice. The professor argues that the fear is only because the mice are unfamiliar creature to the elephants. The elephants who have not seen a mouse before will find it peculier, and think there is a threath. As a result, they would react to it. On the other hand, the elephants which have been kept in a zoo won't show any sort of reaction when encountering a mouse.
