Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Elephants can blow to get food
Have a memory like an elephant? It
sounds interesting to compare human memory to the one of an animal. But the
biggest and heaviest land animal seems to be even more intelligent than others.
Elephants can use their long trunk not only to fetch food but also to bring
out-of-reach food to within its reach.
How do they do that? Blow it. But
if the food is blown, it goes farther away, doesn’t it? That is why elephants
are amazingly intelligent, at least the ones observed in a zoo in Japan. They
were seen manipulating the blow to move the food closer to them. They seem to
be able to figure out which direction, how strongly and how long they need to
blow air. Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? It’s actually more than amazing.
Enjoy seeing the video and compare
their intelligence and cognitive ability with apes.
