Long before we arrived on the scene, they worked out a way of being in the world that has not fundamentally changed and is sustainable, and not predatory or destructive.

Elephants have the largest brains of any mammal on the face of the Earth. They are creative, altruistic and kind.

Elephants love to play around. They are very intelligent animals. They have a strong bond, at times stretching to several decades, with their mahouts.

I love elephants! It's my favorite animal.

Elephants are contagious.

The elephant can survive only if forests survive.
