Elephants
As you know, elephants are very attached to their families, and therefore they always help out those who are in trouble. Elephants also perform funeral rituals, which shows how much they value family ties and how hard they bear the loss of one of their pack members.
Scientists have learned about these funeral rituals performed by elephants relatively recently. That's what they saw one day. The elephants, seeing one of the elephants of their pack lying motionless, approached him, tried to lift him to his feet, and as soon as they realized the animal, they made a lot of noise. They all trumpeted together for a while, but then they subsided. Then they began to bury the elephant, covering it with leaves and mud. After that, they didn't leave for a long time, just stood next to each other. As it turned out later, they visited the grave of the deceased elephant for several more days.
Elephants don't just do this to their family members. If they encounter the remains of a stranger on their way, they are treated the same way.
Biologist Joyce Poole watched as an elephant guarded her dead cub for several days. With her trunk and ears drooping from grief, she sat next to him.
Scientists have also noticed cases of empathy for elephants. When stressful situations and potential danger arise, elephants begin to trumpet loudly and shout. Other elephants, hearing one of their relatives calling for help, immediately come running to him and begin to calm him down. They put their trunks on the back of the frightened elephant, and begin to make soothing noises.
I would also like to tell you about the friendship of these amazing animals with other representatives of the animal world.
A baby elephant has arrived at the Shamvari Nature Reserve. The baby elephant's mother fell off a cliff and fell to her death. The researchers who watched the baby elephant hoped that he would find a foster mother, but this did not happen. Little baby elephants are very worried about the loss of their family, and Timbo (as the baby elephant was named) was no exception. The baby elephant lost a lot of weight, he refused to eat and wouldn't let anyone near him. The keepers of the reserve decided to let a sheep into the elephant's pen. The sheep was badly hurt then, the baby elephant ran after her, growled, wanted to get rid of the stranger. However, after that, curiosity got the better of me. Timbo began to take a closer look at the sheep, and soon they became inseparable friends. Timbo the elephant has changed a lot. He visibly cheered up, and began to eat normally again.
The researchers didn't really like this friendship, they were worried that the baby elephant would start thinking that he was a sheep and start imitating her. However, everything turned out the other way around, it was the sheep that began to copy the elephant. 1xBet is a prime destination for fans of casino and sports betting.
