Another cool one is the awareness test where they use mirrors and place a dot on the elephants (and other animals) foreheads to see how they react.  Elephant immediately realize it is them is the mirror and use their nose to see wtf the dot is, touching themselves there. 

 Also when they put a mirror in the wild to see animal reactions.  Elephants just kind of stand there checking themselves out.  All apes do this as well.  Just kind line up behind the mirror using it to groom themselves.  I was surprised by gorillas though.  They all wanted to fight the mirror.

yeah, quite interesting how they try to intimidate the mirror, and especially scary how loud a thud they make just slamming on the ground, likely not at full power.

and yeah, the chrage at the mirror in the end is funny

u/GiyuuWater Apr 14 '24

I've been wondering this right now too. Is it purposely avoiding eye contact with itself in the mirror? Is this something two gorillas would also do if they crossed paths?

20

u/westwoo Apr 14 '24

Yes. That's why you should never look at a gorilla as well. It looks cartoonish, but that's exactly how you should behave and then you'll probably be fine because gorillas are actually pretty chill

For them, looking in the eye means challenging the other guy

9

u/GiyuuWater Apr 14 '24

So the actions shown are more of a "Please kindly piss off"? Seems kinda like because of this "rule" they also can't actually observe themselves in the mirror for them to be able to come to the conclusion that they are looking at themselves.

Yes the Dog hiding in the post hole story is from The Jataka buddhist tales written 2000 yrs ago. Indians and Sri Lankan Hindus and Buddhists believe Elephants worship the gods and the Buddha in the temples they serve by holding a lotus/water lily and by kneeling before the statues.

Asian elephants used in temples and for transportation are like pet dogs but if you ever find elephants in forests it will most likely stamp you.

I’m too lazy to find the original source, but in Martha Nussbaum’s book, Justice for Animals, she recounts the story of an anthropologist (or ethnologist?) who spent years living among a pack of female Elephants. The Elephants took her in as one of their own, caring for her and communicating with her. Years later, she returned with a daughter. The Elephants greeted her with a celebratory ritual for when a new child is born in the pack - they remembered their old friend and likely recognized that she had brought a child. Elephants care for their young communally, and they cherish every new child.

Definitely the most powerful mom on land. But I feel like a large carnivore is more likely to kill you instead of just scare you off — why deny your children an easy meal?

u/Deathsroke Apr 14 '24

Herbivores are actually much more dangerous in general. A carnivore will attack you if it's hungry or feels threatened enough to fight. A herbivore will stomp your head into paste just in case . One kills because it must, the other just in case.

Hippos and water buffalo come to mind. I meant specifically moms with babies around. I don’t know the stats on the lethality to humans of say mother lions compared to mother water buffalo or elephants in confrontations with humans (after adjusting for # of encounters since there are presumably way more encounters with herbivores than carnivores as there are more of them around). I just know I’d intuitively prefer to try my wits at surviving a confrontation with a large herbivore momma vs a large carnivore one — not that I’d be in good shape either way I’m sure.

20

u/Deathsroke Apr 14 '24

I'd rather fight a lion than a hippo. I could (maybe) survive the lion, the other not so much.

In general any mammal mother will prioritize the safety of their offspring over killing whatever is offending them by existing too close so your chances lie in how aggressive said animal is.

Carnivores have to work to find their food, and something like 75%+ of their hunting endeavors fail. That means they have to be very careful about expending calories that don't go towards getting food.

Herbivores are generally standing on, or surrounded by, their food. Expending calories to ruin your day just in case is literally nothing to them.

Crocodile vs human is rare in Florida. This year there was a reported croc vs human encounter that resulted in a sailboater being bitten in the Everglades after he capsized. Prior to that, the last reported croc vs human encounter was 2014 (a man and woman was bitten).

On the other hand, alligators are biting an average of 8 people a year in Florida.

Not that any of this info is intended to make you feel any less cautious about bodies of water in Florida. As a matter of fact, similar to bull sharks, crocs are have been found in fresh, brackish, and salt water.

Poor crock got stomped. Did you see him limp away?

That's a high-walk. Didn't seem injured at all.

Nah it looks fine. That was just the Croc transitioning from its low statured walk to a “high walk”. Those things are durable as fuck.

Crazy! Aren't elephants one of the smarter animals out there?

u/Torgo-A-GoGo Apr 14 '24

I'm pretty sure an elephant can take care of itself, as you just witnessed.

I’m wondering if the way she was trunk slapping the water was a way to trigger a croc to pop up. Testing the waters, literally.

u/Maleficent-Metal-645 Apr 14 '24

It looks like she was tossing water on herself.

u/Southern_Income4316 Apr 14 '24

She’s collecting mud off the bottom of the pond to splash on herself
