Description
Have we now seen the elephants dance?
Actually, these big boys in South Africa are having another practice fight, as juveniles of many species do as part of their learning and development.
Elephants/ pachyderms are large mammals of the family Elephantidae and the order Proboscidea. Two species are African elephant (Loxodonta africana) and Asian elephant (Elephas maximus). These animals are fabled for their remarkable recall power, which researchers believe, is a big factor in survival. Matriarch elephants, in particular, hold a store of social knowledge that their families depend upon, according to research conducted on elephants at Amboseli National Park in Kenya.
Researchers discovered that elephant groups with a 55-year-old matriarch (elephants live around 50 to 60 years) were more likely to huddle in a defensive posture than those with a matriarch aged 35 when confronted by an unfamiliar elephant. Because they were aware that strangers were likely to start conflicts with the group and possibly harm calves. Other researchers, studying three herds of elephants during a severe 1993 drought at Tanzania's Tarangire National Park, found that they not only recognize one another but also recall routes to alternate food and water sources when their usual areas dry up.
