Elephants are very special creatures. During years of extensive research and observation, scientists have discovered that elephants’ mourning pattern is very similar to that of humans.
Speaking to National Geographic, George Wittemyer, a Colorado State University conservation biologist who has studied elephants for a long time, said, “Elephants have respect for their dead, but their interaction with their dead is not something we fully understand.”
He added that these creatures act upon emotion when a member of their herd dies, which is truly fascinating and speaks of their emotional inteligence.
Twitter user Parveen Kaswan shared a video which proved yet again that elephants are able to mourn death. They not only bury the bodies but show respect to the bones later on.
The video shows a number of people and vehicles parked in the middle of the road. The reason why is that a herd of elephants is crossing the street.
What caught the attention of the bystanders was that one of the elephants was carrying something with its trunk. When they took a closer look, they realized that the animal was carrying a dead baby elephant.
The herd then stopped and placed the body of the dead calf on the ground as the rest of the group gathered around it.
“The family just don’t want to leave the baby,” Kaswan wrote in the caption and added that the sight resembled “funeral procession.”
As they continued their journey, another animal took the dead baby with its trunk.
To see the incredible moment go to the video below.

Make Food Affordable Again Chick-fil-A, has raised its prices by a shocking 21%
It’s no secret that prices are up everywhere, for aImost everything. Since taking office, Joe Biden has crashed the economy in such stunning fashion that things that were considered cheap, Iike fast food just a few years ago are now an expensive luxury. Gas, home heating costs, rent, groceries, and seemingly every aspect of everyday American life are more expensive under Biden than Trump.
The reasons vary, but the main culprit for higher prices is infIation driven by outrageous fuel prices. The fuel prices force trucking companies to charge more to deliver goods, and the retailers have no choice but to mark up their wares to stay profitable.
Biden may bIame Putin, climate change, Donald Trump, greedy corporations, and millionaires not paying their fair share, but any American who has a job and family and pays their own bills knows that everything is insaneIy expensive under Joe Biden and the Democrats.
Recently, it was noted that a once linchpin of American service, quaIity, and value in the food service industry suddenly isn’t such a great value anymore. Many working families count on fast food and quick service joints for a family meal and perhaps an inexpensive night out for the kids. While that used to be the case, under Joe Biden it sadly is a thing of the past.
One of the most beloved chains in the business, Chick-fil-A, has raised its prices by a shocking 21% in the Iast two years as the chain struggles to stay even with inflation.
