💡 Trivia Elephants Bury Their Dead

[Beatriz9]

Elephants have respect for their fallen brethren and their interactions with them are something that scientists are still trying to understand. Researchers are hesitant to label what they do as mourning, but it is behavior that seems to be based on emotion rather than survival or necessity.

Elephants have been observed burying their dead under foliage and remaining with bodies for extended periods of time. They have also been seen returning multiple times to burial spots to visit bones.
