ELEPHANTS CAN RECOGNIZE THEY ARE ELEPHANTS
Elephants are very intelligent and emotional creatures.
They grieve for the dead relatives and sometimes can recognize them on the
tusk and skull.
They lie for days in the dead relatives, until they begin to decompose.
Apes do it, we do it… and so, it seems, do elephants. They can recognise themselves in a mirror, passing a test of self-awareness that is failed even by the majority of our primate relatives.
Until recently, this ability was thought to be the exclusive preserve of humans and great apes. Then, in 2001, Diana Reiss at Columbia University in New York, US, showed that dolphins tended to position themselves to view a mark on their bodies that would not otherwise be visible, showing that they too could recognise their own reflections.
Like humans and apes, dolphins are highly social animals with large brains, and seem to show empathy towards one another. So Reiss turned her attention to another large-brained and apparently empathetic species - the Asian elephant.
