Elephant Stereotypes

Elephant's neck! Brant bludgeons his audience to make his point that elephants should not be used in this way, a point that could have been made wth more finesse.

It went on to state “During testing and control trials, a third flagged rope was strung down the center of the test area, dividing it into two equally wide lanes (3.5 m); thus, each elephant was released into a single lane and had access only to a single rope end” (Plotnik 36). This here explains that the main idea of this article was instructions how to set up the elephant experiment and execute the procedure. Subsequently, it additionally stated “Success rate per day of delayed release testing in the previously trained (≤ 25 s) and untrained ( 26 ≤ s ≤ 45) delay intervals” (Plotnik 38). Which, explains the outcome of the experiment, data wise. This here presents that the objective of this author’s information and writing, was to show how to set up and do the experiment, and also to display a small part of the data collected from performing

Furthermore, in the last article, “Elephants Console Each Other.” Written by Virginia Morell. The purpose that the author wrote this is to inform the people that are reading this, with facts about how elephants console each other. I know this because in the passage it states. “They help baby elephants stuck in mud holes, use their trunks to ift other elephants that are injured or dying, and even reportedly reassure distressed individual elephants with a gentle touch of their trunk.” This was written for someone who wants to learn about elephant behaviour due to the evidence in the

Every hunter proceeded with the utmost caution. When an elephant was spotted, everyone stayed back as one of the lead hunters, Arumba, stepped up to take aim at the elephant. The first time, he was unsuccessful because the elephant galloped away right before he had a chance to strike, it took a few more hours to re-track the creature. When it was spotted again Arumba crept up with great stealth and ease and struck the elephant with the spear. Arumba's spear entered deep into the side of it's target. The elephant let out a screech of pain and galloped off again. The Mbuti hunters then followed the blood trail of the wounded elephant and waited for it to die. They followed this particular elephant for approximately two hours before it stopped running. Word was sent back to camp that an elephant was wounded and that they should be ready to move very soon. Later, the elephant was found again, swaying on it's feet fighting to stay alive. One of the hunters through a stick and hit the elephant in the head, it simply let out a yell, but did not move. "This animal is dead," said one of the hunters. They soon approached it and jabbed it lightly with the spear once more, it didn't even budge.

Textual Evidence: “While the behavior of elephants of elephants provides clear evidence of high intelligence, there has been little definitive experimental evidence. However, one capacity that has been of interest

The elephant had been chained up which is normal when they are about to enter the “must” time.

Have you ever wondered how intelligent elephants are? I bet you guessed not very intelligent however, you would be wrong. Elephants are actually very intelligent. This is explained in the video Elephants Show Cooperation, the article “Elephants Can Lend a Helping Trunk”, and a passage from the study “Elephants Know When They Need a Helping Trunk in a Cooperative Task”. These sources all explain an experiment involving Asian Elephants and teamwork activities. Although the video, article, and passage from the study all explain the same topic and experiment, the delivery of information is all very different which influence the reader’s understanding of the

The official title of the world’s largest land dwelling animal belongs to the elephant, more specifically, the African elephant. Elephants also are some of the most deadly animals, which therefore increase the danger of human and elephant interactions. The more human interactions occur, the more deaths result, whether it is the elephant or the human who dies. These animals, surprisingly, are socially apt; their trunk is used for more than just eating and drinking- it is used for socializing. They are complex animals who live in large familial herds-females stay with their family throughout their entire lives while males only stay for approximately fifteen years (Elephant Protection, 1). Elephants possess a great memory and only forget what they learn occasionally and rarely, giving way to the “an elephant never forgets” saying (Maloiy, 178c). Despite how many people use the beloved saying, elephants may not be around much longer due to the shortened life span and increased mortality rates. Due to their incisor teeth, tusks, being extremely expensive and profitable, they are being murdered for the wealth they carry. This, coupled with the life span shortening because of malicious treatments and brutal practices reduces the life span of the African elephant from 56 to 16 years and the Asian elephant from 42 to 19 years (Elephant Protection, 1). According to what the statistics show, elephants may be following their ancestors to their death. Of the group of mammals called

21) It is Amazing in a dismal way the number of elephants being killed in only the past decade. Similarly in “Can She Be Saved”, Justin O’neill, Astoundingly states that “according to some estimates, poachers

Elephants have been victims of not just the incessant poaching but also of the civil wars; ultimately making them to fight back. The killing case have gone over the roof, as the “singular perversity” (Siebert 353) of the attacks. In India, “nearly one thousand people have been killed by elephants between 2000 and 2004” (Siebert 353). Several frequent attacks were recorded in Africa and other villages where the denizens were forced to evacuate their houses. ‘nearly one thousand’ which accentuates the gravity of the situation in 4 years had gained a lot of attention from the elephants researchers. Seibert’s prime third perspective, Gay Bradshaw, Oregon State psychologist, claims that that “everybody pretty much agrees that the relationship between elephants and people has dramatically changed” (Siebert 353). The choice of diction ‘dramatically’ indicates that elephants are not being violent towards human beings but they are also doing it intentionally. Dramatic behavior changes over the years are now being explained in the elephants. “Bradshaw and several colleagues argued that today’s elephant populations are suffering from a form of chronic stress, a kind of species-wide trauma” (Siebert 354), due to “decades of poaching and habitat loss” (Siebert 354). Elephants are becoming more destructive and Bradshaw looked into combining “traditional research into elephant behavior with insights about trauma drawn from

Wherever I travel in this Great Democratic Country of ours, I am struck at the morbid sight of our nation. The woefully growing poor-class struggles to make financial ends meet for a week after solemnly accepting their gross income. The relatively stable middle-class battles with monthly finances, hopes crushed at the stark differences of their net and gross salaries. Lastly, the targeted upper-class, the nation’s financial powerhouse, feels the injustice of scandals against them regarding avoidance of taxes. It is impossible to go anywhere without feeling the resentment on payday, when all see the cuts from taxes and insurances. It isn’t hard to know the reason for these cuts. On the contrary, it is quite the elephant in our country: national

Elephants are largely affected by what they see and conceive, which makes Maggie Nelson’s image flow a theory to

Second elephants cooperate with each other. As you can see in the graph the success rates

Elephants are one of the many elephants that migrate, my facts are based on the african elephant, but may have something in common with the asian elephant.

Elephant is a short story written by Polly Clark in 2006. My focus point is William and his life, which I will analyze and interpret. I will also discuss the
