Something you always here being said is that elephants are really intelligent. Have you ever thought about how intelligent they really are? First, they have the largest brain of any land animal and they have three times the amount of neurons as humans. They have many ways of demonstrating their intelligence. Elephants can identify languages and distinguish between gender, age and ethnicity just by the sound of someones voice. They also have a great memory such as when traveling they keep a map in their head of the places they've been and the safest and most efficient route they took to get there. They have been seen traveling those same routes every year around the same time. They also can use tools and objects to their advantage they can hold objects with the muscular trunk to dig and to lift they also use objects to their advantage by creating stairs, something to give them leverage, or creating a path way. Elephants are also artists, why spend money on that fancy painting when you can just have an elephant paint for you? Elephants have so many unknown habits and what seems to be rituals that we don't know about but something we know for sure that they know whats going on around them. and are very intelligent.
