Most people think that an elephant is afraid or dislikes the presence of dogs. Elephants, for the most part, are a peaceful creature. They do not harm others if they are not threatened.
At Elephant Nature park, most herds will have a pack of mahout dogs who follow them every foot step. The elephants pay them no mind, and some are quite fond of them. The dogs are relaxed, able to sleep anywhere. When the elephants move, the dogs will follow, or they will be gently notified if they are required to get out of the way.
At night, some dogs will stay in front of the elephant shelter, awaiting another beautiful day charmed by the gentle giant.
Many animals, even though different species, learn to live together. As humans, surely we can try to stay peaceful also, respecting others and living equitably in this community of earth' s beings.

That the dogs are so relaxed, laying there a few feet away from being schmooshed to death shows how deliberate and careful the elephants have always been in their movements. If the dogs were stepped on even once they wouldn't behave like this and it proves how remarkable, how intelligent and tolerant elephants are when given a chance to be. Don't forget to give a small donation to the elephants in this crazy time; they have been and remain in desperate need.

Yes, it's remarkable the ellies are so aware of their size...They know the right pressure they need to apply on every step / or thing. Highly intelligent beings.

@sylviaelse5086 5 жыл бұрын

No so sure about the reason. For an animal the size of an elephant, a single trip can be fatal. While an elephant treading on a dog would clearly by bad for the dog, it could also prove serious for the elephant. I suspect elephants are just generally careful about where they put their feet.

@wildkeith 5 жыл бұрын

@@sylviaelse5086 Elephants are very intelligent. Of course their aware of their own crushing strength. It's where the myth that they are afraid of mice comes from. Even though stepping on and killing a mouse would have no affect on the elephant, it still moves away from the mouse to avoid doing so. They also hold funerals for their own dead. Some humans have a big ego and assume that other animals are emotionless just because they're not as intelligent. That's not true

There was one old brown dog there named Memphis who absolutely loved everyone and everything. I didn't see him in this video. He was adorable. A lot of people don't realize that ENP also rescues dogs and has a large kennel run. The place is wonderful and Lek Challert (who founded ENP) is one amazing lady. ENP is my Disneyland. ♥
