The beautiful majestic powerful ones!


Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

The African Elephant.

As a child I had admired them.

I took the time to Google some information about the Elephants.

Elephants are considered to be among the most intelligent animals in the world. They have large brains, complex social structures, and exhibit many behaviors that indicate empathy and self-awareness. 

Brain size and structure 

  • Elephants have the largest brains of any land animal.
  • Their brains have a similar structure to humans, including a large cerebral cortex and hippocampus
  • Elephants have more neurons in their brains than other mammals, including humans.

Behaviors that indicate intelligence

  • Tool use: Elephants use tools to solve problems. 
  • Memory: Elephants have extraordinary memories and can remember distant water holes. 
  • Social skills: Elephants form close bonds with companions and can cooperate to solve problems. 
  • Self-awareness: Elephants recognize themselves in mirrors. 
  • Empathy: Elephants exhibit behaviors that indicate empathy, such as comforting distressed individuals and babysitting calves. 

Other behaviors 

  • Mimicking human voices
  • Recognizing companions even after long periods of separation
  • Forming coalitions to assist others in need
  • Offering protection to young or injured elephants

Most contemporary ethologists view the elephant as one of the world’s most intelligent animals. Elephants manifest a wide variety of behaviors, including those associated with grief, learning, mimicry, playing, altruism, tool use, compassion, cooperation, self-awareness, memory, and communication.”

These animals are subjects of abuse and murder from greedy people who slay them for their body parts.

They are part of GOD’S creations and need to be protected and respected as they share this planet too. Let us not forget to love them too.

Peace and blessings ❤️
