Humans have long been fascinated by elephants, the largest land animal in the modern world. Social animals that live in herds, elephants are native to both Africa and Asia.
In this set of the materials, the author of the reading passage expresses three theories of elephant behaviors. However, the professor thinks that the author's hypotheses contain some defects.
First of all, the author states that elephants know that they are nearing the end of their lives due to the discovery of many sites containing bones exclusively of elderly elephants. On the contrary, the professor indicates that because old elephants' teeth are worn down, it is hard for them to chew. Therefore, old elephants need to find the soft vegetation to chew, and soft vegetation happens to grow near to the river. Eventually, old elephants die near the river.
In addition, the author claims that elephants may have artistic ability. Because elephants can be taught to hold a paintbrush in their trunk and use it to paint on a canvas. However, the professor asserts that when trainers train elephants to paint, they will stroke the elephants' ears if elephants did wrong. Because elephant's ears are sensitive, it will encourage elephants to learn how to paint. Hence, it hard to assume that whether or not elephants have the artistic ability due to their training methods.
Finally, the author raises the point that elephants are afraid of mice due to the recent scientific experiment in which a herd of elephants was confronted with several mice, the elephants backed away from the mice and left the area to avoid them. On the other hand, the professor refutes author's idea by saying that the reason elephants backed away when they saw the mice is because elephants are unfamiliar to the mice instead of scared of mice themselves. Like elephants in the zoo, they are already familiar with mice, and they won't back away when they see the mice. When the elephants know that mice are not threatened for them, they won't afraid of mice.
