Elephants could be considered that jack of many trades. They work in entertainment, construction, building,ect. They are considered transportation, and even a pet to some. Elephants have been in entertainment for years and years. You could see them in the circus, traveling with a group or working individually with an elephant trainer. Elephants are used as a source of transportation all of the world, whether they're the only way to get around, used on a safari or if you just want to take a stroll. Elephants are used in situations when you can't get machinery somewhere. For example in some countries where they are logging they cant get all the trucks and the equipment deep in the forest so they use elephants. They're used as cranes, trucks, really anything to get the job done.
Elephants are similar to horses and can work by leg or hand command, since they are used in different cultures the learn different languages. It's said to be all about trust. If you earn their trust you can take them anywhere and do anything. After a long day of work elephants like to have some time to themselves to just relax and soak in the bath. Considered to have characteristics like a child they may want someone to sit down and cuddle with at the end of the day.
This is so interesting. I suppose I never really thought about all the different things that elephants can do. Good point!
