    Elephants are such amazing, loving and compassionate beings. We have so much to learn from these sacred, kind and powerful beings. As a Zimbabwean who has lived around elephants on the shores of Lake Kariba, they have literally changed my life. They are highly skilled in telepathy and can sense another elephant's excitement or distress a great distance away. They like all other animals are deeply sentient, intelligent and affectionate/loving. They have an amazing, spiritual and divine consciousness like whales and dolphins. They help strengthen the energy centres and lines of the land. They too are great Healers. They should be in charge of the Earth and world instead of us humans.

      Perhaps there is alot to learn about humans, like how to stop greed and encrouching on others property. The elephants don't need to be leaders of all species. Humans already know what to do in terms of right and wrong and like elephants use survival of the fittest. If you notice in the elephant kingdom the world of males and females remains separated, except for courting and mating. Also, the young male is moved out when it respond to musth, or attempts breeding which they aren't allowed to do while living and growing up within a herd of females. So many species could show humans how to be more patient, and co-conspirator's in a positive way.

    I've loved Elephants all my life. They're so gentle, nurturing and smart. It's devastating to hear what humans have done to them, horrible, gut wrenching to see, plus we're infringing on their space. Elephants have learned how to take down fences, even electric ones, how to stop trucks carrying sugar cane to help themselves to some. I'm sure I've seen every documentary with Sir David Attenborough, 🥰 I'm only 20yrs younger than him. Lol Many millions of thanks to all who make a difference in the Elephants survival. 🙏🙏🙏...

    In 1800 there were an estimated 25 million elephants in Africa. In 1900 there were an estimated 24 million elephants in Africa. About one million were hunted for their ivory. In 2000 there were less then one million elephants in Africa. Today there is and estimated 415 thousand elephants left in Africa.
    Hunters in Africa need to be hunted before there are no more elephants left in the wild. That goes for rhinoceros as well. There 90% were hunted for their horns.

    Regarding the elephant intelligence test, I think what is really amazing is the elephants are solving a human intelligence test. Lets face it, pulling two ropes together to move a table is something that will never occur in their real world. Begs the question, could we pass an elephant intelligence test, like finding the watering hole 30 years later. And while we acknowledge that elephants are pretty damn smart, the cameraman comments that the elephants don't know where the brand new baby came from, it just appeared. Like elephants would somehow not be able to understand about being pregnant and giving birth. Duh.

    Now introduce this baby elephant to a herd, because it is an elephant allo-mother/nanny who will show this little ellie how to survive and will provide the right training and encouragement for life. 💝🐘💝
