Do Elephants Really Have Memories? An Interesting Story!?

I don't usually send all these heartwarming stories, but this one is truly interesting...





In 1986, Mkele Mbembe was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University. On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Mbembe approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it.





As carefully and as gently as he could, Mbembe worked the wood out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.





The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments.








Mbembe stood


frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant





trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away.





Mbembe never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.
