This African elephant is on the verge of death. It was likely tusked in its side by another male elephant during a fight. What happens next reveals how enormously important an elephant is to its ecosystem. Elephants arrive on the scene to mourn the loss of their fellow elephant. The mourning process includes “body-mounting,” in which they climb on the carcass. They also mourn by walking backwards towards the body, often touching it with their hind foot. They will explore the body with their trunks and front feet. Whether elephants culturally transmit and learn these actions is part of an ongoing study. Hyenas arrived overnight and opened the belly of the carcass, tearing through the tough elephant hide. This gives the opportunity for white-backed vultures to feed.
Vultures don’t have strong enough beaks to tear through the elephant's hide, so they have to wait in line behind the hyenas. While sad, these deaths are crucial for ecosystems. These feasts can be life saving for vultures, whose populations have plummeted worldwide as humans have changed their habitats and poisoned them. A leopard comes to investigate but decides to eat elsewhere. Elephant carcasses briefly become busy ecosystems of their own. Apart from scavenging, there’s a full community of decomposers like maggots that chow down on anything the bigger scavengers don’t get to quickly enough. A carcass site becomes soaked with blood and fluids that are released during decomposition, creating a fertile patch of ground as microbes release nutrients into the soil.
Scientists use carcass counts for keeping tabs on elephant population health. So not only does this elephant's carcass provide a highly beneficial service to the surrounding ecosystem ... it may ultimately help with science and elephant conservation.

@@andand7597 thats what on my mind.. To make this experement!!
Body mounting. Kinda like hugging or kissing the departed at a funeral. And the two elephants touching faces to console one another. An incredible societal structure!
Don't see them as humans
And people say animals can’t feel emotions like grief I think this proves them wrong
Bonesy_ 2005 who say that
@@anirudhmenon5281 dont see Humans as superior to other animals. Elephant show grief and will go back to the site where one of their own died and touch the bones. They will go out of their way to visit the site of a dead relative. They can also morn for other animals if they have bounded with them, like dogs or other humans. They are also one of the few animals smart enough to recognize themselves in a mirror and they show the ability to solve puzzles that require cooperation which is even rarer. They can also be teach skills like painting
They may not have hands but they definitely could behave like early humans if they did. Even our own closes animal relative have problems passing these tests.
Anirudh Menon A part of an elephants brain light up when they see humans similar to a humans brain lighting up when we see puppies, they experience emotions and are one of, if not, the most intelligent animals in the world. Yeah we can’t liken them to humans but you can’t deny the fact these giant creatures are smarter than they appear to be :-)
It's so touching how elephants show their last respect and love to their dead fellow. 😢😢😢
I really felt that
Not rlly
They are intelligent species
Actually they are the ones who killed it. Just making sure that it's dead.
agreed
Crazy how 1 death secures the survival of dozens of other animals. Pretty amazing.
Consider how the death of just one person--such as Hitler around 1939--could have secured the survival of over 50 million other humans.

Why did the team not rescue the dying Elephant?
@@qarshitreasury8168 how exactly would they do that? walk up to a large, dying beast and convince it to let you touch its wounds? or should they tranq it first, most likely resulting in death due to the already existing trauma?

When the elephant first died, it’s like the others are hugging the dead friend. Elephants are so beautiful.
Although I had no desire to watch the feeding frenzy that ensued, I do find it fascinating how there is an animal for every need. Without the scavengers and insects, this world would be a stinky, ugly mess.
Have a look at the concept of Fundamental Constants.
Everything in the Universe is determined by special forces called fundamental constants which are unbelievably precise.
For eg. -:
If the rate of expansion of the Universe would have changed only by just one part in a quintillion after the Big Bang, a quintillion is one with 18 zeros after it, 1,000,000,000,000,000,000, the Universe would have continued to expand or collapsed back on itself.
How the Atmosphere (various layers) protects the Earth from destruction from meteorites is again amazing. Solar Flare which occur frequently from the Sun ☀️ has energy equivalent to 100 billion Atomic Bombs which was dropped on Hiroshima couldn't destroy Life on Earth 🌍 due to Van Allen Radiation Belt.
The centre of gravitational force could have existed anywhere on the Universe which is supposedly 13.5 billion Light Years Big but it only exists at the right place that's why Life is possible. Scientists say, if it is shifted/ moved even 1 inch compared to 13.5 billion light years length of the Universe, the effects would be catastrophic & it would wreck the Universe. So, everything is on the knife edge.
@@supernatural_forces yes but there are also trillions / maybe infinite planets. so the chance of such things happening is actually not that strange
the reason there hasnt been new coal is because of the presence of these scavengers and bacteria
coal and oil are formed because of a lack of decomposition, and they just get sandwiched into the ground

@@sgtsnakeeyes11 No nature does Not. Humans waste a lot.
@God First one that pops into my mind is seeds. Very few seeds germinate, the rest are wasted. Unnatural human farming processes have far more efficient seed planting methods, water usage, etc. Another would be how nature wastes 99% of the energy that comes from the sun every day. There's millions of examples like those. Nature is not very efficient over all.
"Here's what happens when an elephant dies"
I cry

Remy Pearson lol Funny
I’d cry if it was dead because of greedy humans need for its tusks , that’s unfair. But dying of natural causes?! Look how many animals benefited from it.
The fact that one elephant dying fed and kept multiple other animals and lifeforms alive is cool. It sucks that the elephant died but it's death garunteed the survival of many other animals
It's incredible how they have a "ritual" to mourn their dead. Elephants are incredibly smart and majestic creatures.

Either that, or considering it is alone, that elephant was probably passing by and got curious to know if the carcass belonged to someone it knew. It didn't seem to stay for long unlike the other elephants, so I'm assuming this one didn't know the dead elephant and went on its way.
Another possibility is that this is the male in musth that mortally injured the dead elephant before, and now that the period had settled down, he came back feeling guilt and at least paid one final respect for the fallen one.
Maybe the time this elephant spent around was much longer then I guessed from the video, considering it's on fast-camera.
Yeah, but he not press F

It probably because of safety. They may be animals, but their bodies can still get sick from bad food. If they ingest worm egg from old meat, they can become filled with parasites. They are smart, don't eat old rotting meat filled with insects and bacteria.

An least he died of natural causes and not by poachers
*Meanwhile a poacher with a bloody sword giggles at distance*
Gregory Murphy or d i d h e ?
Elephants have roamed the earth longer than modern humans have, and they mostly can't use any tools other than grabbing a stick or even a hose if given chance.
Poachers are modern human beings with clothes, which is a human made invention and they mostly use guns, which is another highly unnatural invention.
To get a gun, one needs to buy the gun from a gun shop.
For the gun shop to get a gun to sell, they have to order it from a factory, and for a factory to produce a gun, they need to order minerals from mineshafts all around the world to get brass, steel, both being alloys mixed from other minerals.
Guns also have iron and aluminum, which is not usually found in the nature other than in meteors.
For guns to be deadly, they need bullets which use different materials, such as copper to hold the other materials in the case, steel for the bullet, coal or sulfur for the primer, and gunpowder, which is yet another mix of different stuff to launch the bullet.
In short, elephants are natural beings, humans are too but their inventions are not.
Oof McOofy I love your comment and profile picture 😂
Thanks, the profile picture is a reaction image on 4chan, more specifically /b/ thread
Elephants and Dolphins are said to have a high level of empathy ... such incredibly smart creatures
Not dolphins
Yeah I don’t think Dolphins but some whales are Incredibly empathetic
@@hokagemoves2602 dolphins definitely CAN
Dolphins are also know to torment and kill sharks lol
@@ryangreen2493 they can violate creatures
I imagine this is what it’s like for Brachiosauruses when they die, except a full on mansion inside of them
Or like Lizzo
This Comment Needs To Be At Top!
Imagine this with a blue whale
That's why Sauropod's fossils are rare and usually far from even half completed .

It is sad that even after death a human doesn't return anything to the nature.
Bugs eat dead people if they are Buried not Cremated
So is your family going to throw your carcass out into the wild when your time runs out?
??
Only those who are cremated.
Because those in the coffin become food for decomposers too.
@@gmdosubmundomost decomposers don’t live 6 feet underground. They live closer to the surface. And most modern coffins are basically impenetrable to them anyway
This is why I love the idea of sky burials. Unfortunately it’s illegal in many western countries
