Elephants in the House!
migrate just like butterflies and birds, but on
the ground, not in the sky. One example for a
type of elephant that migrates is the Mali
elephant. Those types of elephants like to
migrate with their herd. Elephants are really
smart animals. Because they know when to
migrate. The elephants know when to migrate
when it rains. That’s when they know when it’s
time to migrate.
There is a leader in the elephant herd
just like birds in a flock. Instead, the leader has
a special name. It’s called, the
Matriarch[Matriarch] The Matriarch is the
oldest female,not male, elephant in the herd.
When the Matriarch dies, she gets replaced by
her daughter, not son. Male elephants can not
be the leaders, for some reason.
Elephants have choices to do with their
group. They have to choose to leave, or stay.
When a male elephant is around teenage or an
adult it will have to leave it’s home group for
some reason. While females have to choose
stay, or, leave the group.If you were an
elephant, will you leave, or would you stay in
your herd?
Now that you know some elephants and
their herds, you are able to survive and you
know what you may or may not want to do in
your life. Since you're an elephant you know
how elephants act, and you need to act like it.
Also, you are in a sanctuary but, you are lucky
too, your trainer is someone named Katlin.
Katlin says,”The animal training field is very
competitive, so I had to take any job I could
get. I did not have a preference at the
beginning, but once I ended up here with the
elephants, I fell in love and can’t imagine
working with anything else.” You are lucky!
Would you be happy as a elephant? why?
