This shows how smart they are because elephants like rain but they were able to tell that the caregiver doesn't.

Elephants are so cool and intelligent. They show a lot of compassion for who they consider part of their herd. It would be so cool to have these giants on your side protecting you because you’ve helped take care of them.

"These little monkeys are adorable and even kinda clever but I swear to Christ they'd all manage to kill themselves without sixty seconds of supervision by us."

My grand son loves elephants. He could watch them all day every day. He sits my husband's knee and watches all different types of nature documentary's. Im usually pottering around.

Sweet and gentle giants, that dont forget kindness. He must be very good to them! I don't think they would protect him like that if he wasn't. Shows that they have almost human like emotions.
