Agreed. Elephants are incredible.
All misunderstood animals are more than "just an animal".
Well, a lot of Africans believe elephants are the only creature besides humans that have a soul. They show a lot of behaviour that is similar to humans, such as attempting to bury family members or friends (like Tibb said), and they even return to the bones long after the burial to mourn by stroking and caressing them. Very human-like behaviour, which is what makes them more than just an animal. I don't think any other animal mourns for as long as that. Not to mention how close their family bonds are, and their amazing intelligence and memory. They're not my favourite animal, but they are different from other animals. And it should be appreciated more.
Oh,
and they paint too. 83
