Elephants, the majestic giants of the animal kingdom, possess an astonishing level of intelligence that continues to astound researchers and captivate the world. These remarkable creatures exhibit a complexity of cognition that rivals some of the most intelligent species on the planet. From their exceptional problem-solving abilities to their impressive memory recall, elephants have proven time and again that they are among the brightest beings to roam the Earth.
One extraordinary aspect of elephant intelligence lies in their capacity to express and communicate emotions, a trait that often resonates deeply with humans. These gentle giants possess a remarkable emotional intelligence that allows them to demonstrate empathy, compassion, and even grief.
But sometimes, the elephant’s emotions don’t necessarily align with the humans around him–and here’s the perfect example. We all know there are some people who don’t want to get their picture taken but that’s not something we would probably ascribe to elephants.
This elephant saw a bunch of explorers around him. He saw a phone in one girl’s hand and, whether it’s because he’s just curious or he doesn’t want to be part of an Instagram post (we’ll never know), he reaches out and the phone goes flying.
