Why elephants never forget - Alex Gendler

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/why-elephan...
It’s a common saying that elephants never forget. But the more we learn about elephants, the more it appears that their impressive memory is only one aspect of an incredible intelligence that makes them some of the most social, creative, and benevolent creatures on Earth. Alex Gendler takes us into the incredible, unforgettable mind of an elephant.
Lesson by Alex Gendler, animation by Avi Ofer.

I have a real story on an elephant. I live in Kerala , India and here there are lots of elephants.Both wild and domestic. Domestic once mainly used for temple festivals. In a festival with many elephants there a keshavan( male elephant). One crazy man throws a stone on him and man ran away. It's hurt the elephant he taken that stone and kept it with him for many years. Years passed away one day in a festival place elephant saw that man and he give it back to him.

I feel pity after watching the video. At first I thought it was a pity for such an intelligent and sympathetic animal not able to change the world and live a convenient life as we do. But then I realized I should feel sad for humans, because though we are smart and creative, we don't use our intelligence to make the world better; though we're sympathetic, we don't always have the willingness or courage to stand for the disadvantaged, the voiceless or even people we love.

I saw a study recently that showed that elephants' brains light up (when looked at during an FMRI) when they see humans, the same way humans' brains light up when we see cute puppies and kittens!!

I love it when different TED-ed videos counter each other in what they say. The dolphin one said dolphins mourn their dead too.

[@addyisntcute]

+Julia Binarystar Yes this is only the second video I've seen, watched the dolphin one first and thought that to myself, contradictions lmao

[@MrAlexkyra]

+Julia Binarystar The scripts for their videos are written by different people, but spoken by the same actors, so sometimes an elephant specialist and dolphin specialist might contradict each other.

This video was probably older then.

It shouldn't be a crime as long as they have a huge space it's not easy to introduce a captive animal into the wild especially if it was born in captivity.

Do you also respect non majestic animals, like cows and pigs? Or do only "majestic" sentient beings deserve our respect, and other sentient beings deserve to be transformed into commodities through horrible death camps? Stop being hypocrites. Go vegan.
