Elephants 🐘 are almost humans 🚶
Except that they are never greedy!
An elephant mother may carry the calf in her womb for close to 22 months, which is twice the period a human mothers pregnancy period
But the care the mothers take to deliver healthy babies/calfs are much similar
Elephants too live in groups and care for each other, of course without expectations, unlike the humans
Elephants calfs are cared for by the herd for almost 16 years, much like human children who grow up under the loving care of their parents
Though the difference is that the elephant calves, as adults are expected to care for themselves
Unlike the human children, who are supported even as adults
Elephants for generations follow the path of their ancestors to migrate in search of fodder and water
& Never will they stray from their path unless and otherwise their paths are blocked
Wherein, we, the humans, not only stray but try to occupy the paths of the elephants for personal gains and drive the elephants to move away from their ancestral paths
Elephants have never killed a human to trade but only to save themselves
Whereas, the humans erased the elephants race, to win in their race for amassing enormous wealth
Elephants have a sharp memory, much sharper than humans in terms of remembering with gratitude, the people who helped them grow
While the humans, though have a good memory, fail to feel grateful to the those who helped them grow
Elephants are the major cause for maintaining the vegetation growth in jungles and thus assist Nature to well balance the flora and fauna
Humans on the other hand are the major cause for destruction of the environment and play a crucial role in defying Nature from finding its balance
Despite their huge physical size, elephants are known as 'gentle giants', while the humans, comparatively tiny by physical size, have proved to be 'giants' by thoughts and actions
The greed of the humans almost drove the elephant 🐘 population to extinction and thanks to a few good souls amidst the self centred hearts of humans
The elephant population increased in the past decade + to promise a better future for both the elephants and the humans
Yes, elephants are almost human and a lot better than humans 🚶
May today, the elephant day, mark the beginning of a better life for them in this world 🌍
