Elephants....what do you think?!?

DO ELEPHANTS REALLY HAVE MEMORIES? AN INTERESTING STORY In 1986, Mkele


%26gt;Mbembe was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwest


%26gt;University. On a hike through the bush, he came across a very young


%26gt;bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant


%26gt;seemed distressed, so Mbembe approached it slowly. He got down on one


%26gt;knee and inspected the elephant's foot and found a large piece of wood


%26gt;deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Mbembe


%26gt;worked the wood out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant


%26gt;gingerly put down its foot.


%26gt;


%26gt;The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on


%26gt;its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Mbembe stood frozen,


%26gt;thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant


%26gt;trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Mbembe never forgot that


%26gt;elephant or the events of that day.


%26gt;


%26gt;Twenty years later, Mbembe was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his


%26gt;teen-aged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the


%26gt;creatures turned and walked over to near where Mbembe and his son Tapu


%26gt;were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Mbembe, lifted its


%26gt;front foot off the ground then put it down. The elephant did that


%26gt;several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.


%26gt;


%26gt;Remembering the encounter in 1987, Mbembe couldn't help wondering if


%26gt;this was the same elephant. Mbembe summoned up his courage, climbed


%26gt;over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right


%26gt;up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.


%26gt;


%26gt;The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Mbembe's


%26gt;legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.


%26gt;Probably wasn't the same elephant .

Reply:Heard it before..Very Good.. Did you ever see the commercial where a boy at a the zoo teased the baby elephant with his last rolo, The baby elephant stretched his trunk over the barrier and the boy held the Rolo out to him before popping it into his mouth and laughed and jeered at the baby elephant.. Years later the boy now a grown man was at a parade and was again eating a rolo when the now fully grown elephant walked by ..The Elephant remembered the guy and gave him a smack in the Gob with his trunk.. It was hilarious....l
