elephants behavior
The passage presents some common beliefs regarding elephants and their behaviors. The lecturer disregards all the assumptions mentioned in the article, and she claims none of them are accurate. Her further demonstrations are as follows.
First, while elderly elephants do wander away from their herd, this behavior is not caused by their awareness of their approaching time of death. However, their breaking away from their herd is due to the fact that their teeth are worn down in old age, and they are not able chew very efficiently. Thus, they relocate to places near bodies of water where softer plants grow often.
Second, although elephants can indeed be trained to paint, their painting cannot be indicative of their understanging of art and the meaning of the pictures. If a trained elephant is observed while it is painting, it can be noted that the trainer is stroking the elephant's ear. The elephants' ears are very sensitive, and this characteristics can be employed to teach the elephant to paint. The elephant only understands that certain movements of a paintbrush result in a stroke of its ear, and it cannot comprehend the meaning of that movements and the final picture. It certainly does not regard this as art.
Third, whereas avoidance behavior in elephants when confronting mice has been reported, the speculation that this behavior is caused by fear of mice is not accurate. Elephants have displayed this avoidance behavior in areas that are not the usual habitat for mice, so the fright comes from the unfamiliarity of mice with elephants which is a very common behavior in animals. In contrast, when elephants have regular contact whith mice and are familiar with them, they do not exhibit this avoidance behavior and they simply do not mind the mice.
