And like humans they have extremely varied personalities. There was a group of male teenage elephants years ago, which, similar to human gangs, liked causing trouble and fighting. They walked around killing rhinos without any reason. Usually those two species live side by side peacefully as they don't compete for anything such as food.
Oh my gosh Elephants have one of the best memories, infact, don't **** them off, they will never forget your face, infact they remember certain things for years and years to come, and understand they know their enemies.

They truly are a remarkable animal, and so sad endangered.

He's been sleazy for long time - using t i t s and ass to sell his product. Apparently that has helped not hurt sales. Let's see if people care more about elephants.

I don't know if it is coincidence, but both elephants and whales (including dolphins) - i.e. humans' biggest rivals in terms of brainpower and social skills - developed out of an ancient form of hippo. I wonder if hippos themselves are also very intelligent, there is relatively little research on them, maybe because they are so dangerous and hard to approach.
