I wish I'd known about all of that when I was a child, because it might have inspired me to take a more serious interest in my neighbors. I say that because I grew up across a ravine from the municipal zoo, and came to accept the sound of a roaring lion or trumpeting Elephant as commonplace.

The next morning, the staff found the metal well between them had been so bent out of shape the elephants could link trunks and communicate.<br />Turns out they had known each other 25 years earlier at a circus. So these two best friends were united together, and strolled through the sanctuary grounds and down to the river every day, until one died. And no one should ever tell me animals don't have emotions?Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-6929248667188823052021-05-28T05:27:22.872-04:002021-05-28T05:27:22.872-04:00I love elephants.

I read about a mother elephant who tore a utility pole out of the ground because her baby was electrocuted by it. She wouldn't leave the spot where he died for three days. <br />And the video of an adorable baby elephant, Echo, who was kidnapped by a group of females. Then her mother and her herd ran trumpeting to get Echo back from the other group. They were successful.<br />I am glad to learn of this website, but will I ever leave it?Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-58000705856566809102021-05-28T04:04:07.839-04:002021-05-28T04:04:07.839-04:00Kwei. is that the wee rock hyrax chappie?

You could literally watch them all day long and never tire. Every movement of theirs seems to be of great significance, even when we don't understand. What small mammal is oddly closely related to the huge elephant?
