Elephants mourn their favorite person. [More:] “A good man died suddenly,” says Rabbi Leila Gal Berner, Ph.D., “and from miles and miles away, two herds of elephants, sensing that they had lost a beloved human friend, moved in a solemn, almost ‘funereal’ procession to make a call on the bereaved family at the deceased man’s home.”
Wow, that is amazing. Elephants are awesome creatures.

That was beautiful. And seconding, another book I need to read as well.

Elephants really are wonderful - everything I've read makes them sound almost more human than chimps & gorillas. I heard a special on NPR a year or two ago, & they can expand & contract their feet so they don't get stuck in the mud, & can run silently!
