      @Young Lion Of JUDAH I think some animals are given gifts that we may take for granted. Elephants, as well as most intelligent animals, may have a sense about people and situations. The fact that the elephants waited seems to show they knew the humans were trying to help.

      I am from the state in India where this incident happened (Kerala). The men can be heard advise the JCB/Buck Hoe operator to be careful. The baby elephant's trunk may have got hit by the steel bucket. From his position the operator will not be able to see the elephant's trunk.

    She says thank you, waits for a response. Nothing. She says it again. Still nothing. She turns to walk away but then decides, no, I want these people to know how grateful I am. Turns back around and with purpose and ceremony raises her trunk high into the air toward the rescuers. At which point they finally understand and call out to her, acknowledging the gesture so she can walk away edified. It's all as clear as day. Just mind-blowing.

    The thing that amazes me the most about this is that the head elephant isn't just blindly waving their trunk and leaving. They actually wait for some sort of acknowledgement before you leaving. You can see the first "wave" at 2:53, 2:59, and 3:03 before he clearly holds his trunk up and doesn't put it down until they receive acknowledgement at 3:16. To be acutely aware of the actions (or lack thereof) of other species around them is not only intelligent but incredibly perceptive.

    I met an elephant once in Thailand, I specifically say 'met' because looking into this creature's eye while feeding him pineapples and bananas I knew there's someone looking back at me. After he ate all the fruits I brought he gently put his trunk around my arm like a handshake and whistled. I cried.
    It was the greatest moment of my life and I'll never forget it.

      there is some true story about about a poacher wrounded elephant that went to a a wildlife center. This elephant never had any true human contact before, went there, let the human there examine and put it to sleep without fighting. The humans of course fixed it up and got released later on.
      Why that one went there? One elephant in the group went there before. It look like they might actually talk and transfert their knowledge among themself.

      People greatly overestimate the separation between animals and man. We are still very primitive creatures, with very primitive emotions. Yes we are flying into space, and have internet, however everything we have, was built upon the shoulders of those that came before us. Complex language, the ability to pass down ideas and record information these are the things that got us to where we are.
      If you take modern day humans and raise them without these things, to place them in the wild, not one of them would conceive the idea of sharpening a stick with a stone to create a spear. That was the Einstein of that generation. The humans raised this way would be indistinguishable from the animals around it to the average observer.
      As for emotions, where do you think we get them from? they obviously evolved. Fear (self-preservation) would of been the first useful emotion to evolve. The reward mechanisms, encouraging the desire to procreate. The foundations of love, to protect ones young. More complex 'newer' emotions developing through social animals, jealousy, anxiety etc. We like to pretend that we are high and mighty, and so far beyond the natural world. But in truth we are not too dissimilar.

      Alot of People are really nice and good in their heart but can't show because there are different opinions about good or not good, so that when someone thinks he's doing nice, there are usually people who think different and the negative experience stays more than the Gratefulness of the ones who think positive about it.

It's more of how we humans feel than what the best logical solution is to something, and to let those Systems Work together we need to decide and relearn some emotions, and evaluating things different.

But, I'm used to thinking if we can help other people with selfless act, it could be your own family, friend, or stranger, just do it. Why not? Helping people by expecting nothing in return is such a nice thing to do. I bet you have already known how it feels like to treat people like we would like to be treated. Does it not really feel good? Life is full of little "Unthankful reactions", but it's all right though.
      You know what, of all the people that have been a part of my daily life, according to my own experience, most of them are unthankful. However, hell yeah it's OK, I'm fine with it, nothing to argue when I know this kinda stuff is just a human nature. My heart says, OK, cool, go for it. Whatever we do, I believe there is the law of cause and effect. Being "Unthankful" to people who are nice to me is something I really really stay away from. I don't impuse my personal opinion on things I don't know a lot about, I don't mean to be no judge, either, 'cause I hate to waste my time by talking way too far. Like I said before, I still believe there is still nice people left in this world, well, what to discuss? Nothing !
