Do elephants really have good memories?

I don't usually like these heart-warming stories, but this one is truly interesting...





In 1986, Mike Hogan was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from North-western 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 Mike 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, Mike worked the wood out with his hunting knife. The elephant gingerly put down his foot. The elephant turned to face the man and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Mike stood frozen, thinking about being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned and walked away. Mike never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

That was great. I kind of have a thing for elephant jokes. Whenever somebody introduces me as "really funny" I tell a really crappy elephant joke to lower their expectations a little. Now I have a follow up elephant joke that is actually funny and will get them by surprise.





Why did the elephant wear a green felt hat?


So he could tip toe accross the pool table without being noticed.

Reply:It is said that almost all mamals dream about the day that just passed...Animals can't think rationally...This is a fact...they rely on instinct.





That was not the same elephant,that's clear...even if it was it would of killed him anyway because elephants,if you can believe this,are affraid of small things(especially if these small things move)...So the elephant was just trying to protect himself...





So the answer is NO...elephants don't have memory at all:D


I hope this helps you!


Good luck with your search!
