Operation Merriment Mission #75: Elephant Day (Talk + Tutorial)
“We admire elephants in part because they demonstrate what we consider the finest human traits: empathy, self-awareness, and social intelligence. But the way we treat them puts on display the very worst of human behavior.” – Graydon Carter
Elephant Day 🐘 is coming up on September 22nd!
Did you know elephants…
- Have a dominant tusk (right or left tusked) and the dominant one is usually smaller because it’s more used
- Enable a micro-ecosystem with their footprints, that when filled with water, can provide a home for tadpoles and other organisms
- Have 40,000 muscles in their trunks
