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. Their large ears, long trunk, and long life span have made elephants one of the most captivating creatures on Earth. Our long-standing interest in elephants has led to several beliefs about surprising elephant behaviors.
Elephants Are Aware of Approaching Death
One of the popular beliefs is that when elephants become old and weak, they know that they are nearing the end of their lives. They demonstrate this by breaking away from their herds and going off alone to certain locations often found near bodies of water - so-called "elephant graveyards" - to die alone. The idea that old elephants seem aware that they will die soon is supported by the discovery of many sites containing bones exclusively of elderly elephants.
Representing Objects through Art
Additionally, elephants seem to have artistic ability. Elephants can be taught to hold a paintbrush in their trunk and use it to paint on a canvas. Some elephants have been known to paint drawings that represent recognizable things: flowers, other elephants, even themselves. This talent makes elephants the only animal other than humans to produce art representing the world around them.
Fear of Mice
Finally, it has long been believed that elephants have a fear of mice. In 77 C.E., the Roman philosopher and scientist Pliny the Elder wrote that elephants are more afraid of mice, small mammals that can do elephants no harm, than of the much more dangerous animals with which elephants normally share an environment, such as lions or tigers. In a 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.

In the article author posits some arguments about some beliefs about special behavior of elephants which is the largest animal of the modern word. On the otherhand lecturer challenges all three claims made by author.
To begin with ,in the article it states that elephants have some special ability to know that they are in the end phase of their lives .Its also noted that they demonstrate this by get seperate from the herds are prefer to be near to waterbodies.However Lecturer strongly oppose this argument by stating that older elephant's tooth will be weak to have their normal diet .She believes that this drive older elephants to live near waterbodies because of availability of soft vegetation.
Secondly author of the article mentions that elephants have some aristic ability .He states that they can hold pint brushes in their trunk if they taught.And also he is of the opinion that some elephants can draw images which is recognizable. However lecturer rebuts this argument by mentioning this specific point that elephant's ears are very sensitive . She is in position that touching those sensitive eras in special way will make elephants to move brushes in some ways which are lines rather than of images.
Finally in the article its written that elephant are afraid of mices than larger dangerous animals .Also author claims that even in a recent scintefic experiment elephants seems confronted with few mices tends to detour to avoid them . Lecturer cast doubt by brinbibg up the idea that it might be a misinterpretion that elephants are afraid of mices .She contenses that its a natural instinct to avoid unfamiliar animals.Shecsaid that elephants in the zoo are not showing this behaviour since they share the same surroundings.
