Lol looks like my nut sack??♂️
what is the purpose of this training?
We have elephant god ganesh as symbol of intelligence in india….
I mean humans are animals also so I don't underatand why its hard to believe that animals think about cooperation. How many other animals cooperate???
That man had a bull hook!!!
Good brain, Unfortunate body.
Beautiful, nature is simply beautiful.
The dog days are over.
0:30 "พร้อมครับ"หรือปล่าว?
I’d take these elephants as my teammates in csgo and overwatch any day
I wonder if the elephants would have got it the first try if they could see where the rope went
I hope they treat the elephants well there…
In India we worship the elephants as the god of intelligence
That is amazing!
I love how they used Florence and the machines for this video!
i love them
I ? Elephants!!?
"learn to work together". Clearly they have not observed elephants in the wild. They already know how to do this lol
I smiled when he waited for its partner
Why do we need to know this? All animals should be left to live in their natural environments. End of story.
The poachers aren't the only enemy. Thousands of backwards people in India keep elephants in their back yards like junkyard dogs, living in squalor, chained to stumps for 20, 30, 50 years, cruelly "trained" with bull hooks and isolation decades, unable to move except when taken to city to beg or do tricks on the streets and give rides even when its breaking their backs and their spirits. They think they "own" them. Thousands more are chained and abused only to brought out to temple festivals. Dressed in heavy garb, ridden when legs are broken and hips have arthritis. Its inhumane and happening all over India especially in Kerala. They are abused and tortured every day with steel spikes digging into their legs.
and this is why they are my favorite animal. Tiger comes after.
How do they know to pull the rope?
so adorable
I wouldn't mind seeing experiments like these with elephant's of different evolutions to see how well they can communicate with other elephant races ??
What was that in the last scene…? That was sooo cute????? the elephant picking the girl up with it's trunk ??
Elephants are soooo cute… the eyes thoo???
that was so fascinating
The next question to answer is… can one elephant transfer this knowledge to 2 other elephants who are not familiar with the test.
It kind of looked like they brofisted at the beginning there lol
elephants are very smart animals
so disgusting American English but, still have communication.
Class elephants but why the music in the background? As if we need prompts to know when they've succeeded
hair on their head makes me feel uncomfortable.
