In this set of materials, the reading passage discusses that elephants are so fascinating because they show some surprising behaviors that have not been observed in other animals. While in the listening the professor casts doubt on what is presented in the text and believes that all surprising beliefs about elephants are as a result of the misunderstanding of their behaviors.
First of all, in the text, it is clearly mentioned that old elephants leave herd because they are aware of their death.

In addition, the professor disagrees with this idea that elephants have the ability of painting. She says that elephants learn to keep brush with their trunk and paint just through human training, not by an inherited ability. Elephants have very sensitive ears that trainers use it to train them.
Finally, in the text, it is stated that elephants fair of mice. The professor subscribes that elephants fair of mice is because they are unfamiliar with such this small animal. Nonetheless, elephants in the zoo do not fair of mice because they are known this animal.
