What is the name of a wild elephant before it dies? 50

There has been a legend since ancient times that elephants must run to their secret graveyard to meet the end of the world before they die. About half a century ago, an expedition discovered a cave with piles of ivory and bone while in the jungle of Africa.

The news caused a sensation around the world, and many people thought that the cave was a burial ground for elephants. In order to obtain the most expensive ivory, in Africa, the heavenly kingdom of wild elephants, people often go deep into the dense forests to explore and look for elephant burial sites. According to the chief of an indigenous tribe in Africa, he once got lost on a hunting trip, found a large cave full of bones, and saw an elephant walk in and die there.

It was like a burial ground for elephants, but then some people followed the route he pointed out to look for it, but found nothing. Wild elephants generally die of natural age, but in the dense forest, people can not find their carcasses, and the remains of elephants are rarely found. Some scientists believe that elephants may have been confined to a certain place to end their lives.

The elephant is a very spiritual animal, except for those who have died in the wilderness, they can accurately predict their own death. About half a month before the death came, the elephant left the herd, said goodbye to his companions, and walked alone to the distant and mysterious elephant mound. Each herd of elephants has an elephant mound, or a deep rain crack, or a huge karst cave, or a pit left behind.

All the elephants in this population, no matter where they wandered to the ends of the earth before their deaths, their final destination must be in the same elephant mound; What is surprising is that from birth to death, even if the baby elephant has never been to or seen the elephant mound, at the last moment of its life, with the guidance of a mysterious power, it can accurately find the elephant mound belonging to its own population.

When an elephant is dying, it will find a hidden place to wait for death, just like a domestic dog, when it dies of old age, it will run away from home and find a quiet place to wait for death.

It is said that when people are facing death, they will have an inexplicable sense of panic, and they will not think about tea and food, oil and salt, and my grandfather is like this, he will always say this kind of thing in the first two weeks of his death:

The elephant is very mysterious, in fact, it doesn't know that the elephant mound is in **, but once it knows that it is facing death, it will leave the elephant herd and find the elephant mound with its own feelings. There are also those who die on the road, but he knows that he is going to die halfway through the way, so he will dig a pit for himself before dying.

Sometimes we should learn from elephant attachment.

It's not that elephants have special functions, it's that elephants die when they get old, unlike people who put a mental and material burden on their children.

When an elephant knows that he is about to die, he or she will go to the elephant cemetery, or die on the way.

According to scientists, elephants are very intelligent, they have a special skill, that is, they can meet their own life and death, if the elephant feels that it will not be long before they die, they will leave the herd, and then walk alone to a mysterious place, which is their cemetery.

Some elephants die on the way to the cemetery, and some die due to sudden illness, but elephants are rarely found dead in the wild.

It turns out that because the size of elephants is too large, carnivorous animals in nature will always keep an eye on them, and when they find an elephant that is about to die or has died, they will definitely not let go of such a big meal, so the dead elephants are basically shared by carnivores, which is why their carcasses are rarely seen in the wild.

Elephants, which are rarely attacked by predators, are also unable to escape natural death, and their companions mourn in a special way.

Legend has it that elephants go to a place that no one else can find before they die, as if it were a pit or something, and then die. The place of death is like an ancestral grave.

Elephants will run to the elephant mound (a place similar to an ancestral grave) deep in the mountains and old forests on their own, and wait for their own death. So the mound was full of elephant bones.

He went to the elephant cemetery, and all the elephants went to a sacred place --- the elephant cemetery when they had a premonition that death was coming, and it was the tradition of elephants to die, and of course there were no elephants in the zoos, and I was talking about wild elephants, especially in Africa.

They don't want to be tired of the collective and die alone in the mountains.

The burial ground of elephants, the place where the scientific name is elephant mounds!

Almost all died in the same place! People call it an elephant mound.

A natural reaction of elephants

Find a pit and run into it and hang it.

Few people have witnessed the natural death of elephants, and some elephants live in areas that do not have dense forests, so there is no factual basis for the claims that elephants died before they died.

If you are interested in the behavior of wild animals, you can take a look at the "Wildlife Exploration" by Shanghai Science and Technology Education Press, which has a lot of truth.

"Elephants often take off the tusks of dead elephants, take them to distant places, and throw them against rocks or tree trunks until they break"It's so strong, so smart, it's the first time I've heard of it.

Probably because elephants are very sensual animals, they are social animals and live in families. Like humans, they also have feelings, and their way of life is very similar to that of humans, they all gather together as a family unit. They are also afraid of loneliness and hope that they will be buried with their loved ones when they die.

The family structure of elephants is very similar to that of humans, with most women taking care of the housekeeping in the house, while men are responsible for running around outside, and the same is true for elephants. The female elephant is at the command of the female, while the male is responsible for keeping the family safe. Therefore, based on this similarity, it can be inferred that elephants also have a family love plot like humans, and they also hope to be inseparable from their families.

So, when they feel that their lives are in danger, they will set off to the family cemetery and be buried with their families. According to scientists' findings, elephants and humans have many similarities. They are also as emotional as humans, with emotions, even richer than human emotions.

When they find that their fellow humans are in trouble, they are sad and frustrated. Then they will reach out and comfort each other, just as people comfort each other when they are hurt.

Elephants are really warm-hearted and kind. They use their noses to pull the baby elephants out of the mud, and they use their noses to pull injured or dying elephants to a safe place and comfort them. The leaves fall back to the roots, not to mention the animals with feelings.

When elephants are dying, they head in the direction of the family cemetery, carefully observing to avoid other animals or humans discovering their congregation. They also block the entrance to the cemetery with wooden blocks to prevent anyone from discovering it.

Because their IQ is relatively high, compared to other animals, and then there is a sense of "falling leaves and returning to their roots", and at the same time, they don't want to be stolen from ivory after death.

The elephant's hearing is unusually acute, its sense of smell is unusually sensitive, and its sense is unusually accurate, and as long as it is followed by a living individual or group, it will bypass, so that when the elderly elephant feels that the time of death is approaching, it will move away from the herd and go alone to a secret place, which is the grave place of their ancestors and relatives. When it arrived, it used its last strength to clear a place for itself with its nose and dig a hole, and it lay down in it, and then buried itself with earth, and slowly died. The tusks in the elephant tomb are small and the elephant bones are like mountains, but no one can find the road to the elephant tomb.

About half a century ago, an expedition team found piles of ivory and elephant bones in a dense forest in Africa, which caused a sensation in the world, and everyone believed that this hole was the so-called secret burial ground of elephants.

However, elephants living in nature basically die of natural causes, but the dead carcasses of elephants are not found in the forest, because ivory is very valuable, so many people will go to the forest to find the remains of elephants, hoping to obtain ivory, but every time it is a failure, so in the scientific community, everyone also thinks that elephants should have a cemeteryBut so far, science has not been able to explain why elephants go to designated cemeteries to die. It is also unknown how they found the cemetery before they died.

It is said that an expedition once followed an elephant who was about to die, found that the elephant entered a cave, used his own nose to peel off the branches and stones blocking the entrance of the cave, and then went to the cave alone, and then closed the hole again, and never came out again, but even if the hole was found, no one had the courage to peek into the secrets of the cave.

But regardless of speculation, elephants do behave erratically before they die, and they will run to a quiet place or a place with water to die.

There is no such thing as a mound. (In "One Hundred Thousand Whys", it is explained that elephants have extremely keen hearing, extremely sensitive sense of smell, and abnormal accuracy of internal sensation, as long as it is a living individual or group following, it will bypass, so no one has been able to see the mysterious elephant mound with their own eyes.)

That said, there is no clear answer yet. But scientists do find that when elephants die, they quietly leave the herd, and there are usually many tusks and other items in the place where the elephant falls. It's not surprising that elephants know they're going to die.

Whatever the reason for this, this practice of elephants must be directly or indirectly beneficial to the population. There is a behavior in zoology called "altruistic behavior". It's about doing something that's good for other animals.

When elephants come across dead animals, they often bury them with dirt and leaves. It is already known that elephants have buried dead rhinos, bison, cattle and even people in addition to their dead kind. Anthropologists have observed elephants burying their dead counterparts with plenty of food, fruits, flowers, and colorful leaves.

This death ritual is not only performed by large animals such as elephants, but also by small social insects who perform three-dimensional "funeral" rituals on the corpses.

Of course, all this is speculation, and this behavior of elephants remains to be studied.

Elephant Valley... It's hidden. Elephants are intelligent, spiritual, and sensual creatures that perceive death and leave their present family to their graves and return to their roots... /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

Remember to adopt it.

The elephant wants to know the day when it will end its life, and that is when it will go to a place and die slowly. There should be a fixed location, but humans haven't discovered it yet.

A photographer once documented the entire process of African elephants from death to disappearance, and herds of hyenas, vultures, jackals and other scavengers ate them all.
