they're just like us. In this TEDYouth Talk, O'Connell-Rodwell details her work observing these incredible, social animals, examining several individual (and very familiar) characters that play, bond and argue in tight-knit extended families eerily similar to our own.

Some of the stuff she says about them being just like us does not resonate. Human girls do not tend to be more attached to the mothers and stay with the mothers while the boys leave. I would almost say it's the other way around- boys grow up more attached to their mothers and the girls move out faster. At least that's how it seems in western society.

This confirms what we have always known about elephants in our local forests and game reserves. Dr O'Connell-Rodwell must be congratulated for her original far reaching studies on elephant family structure.

Ive long known elephants have a matriarch, of course, but I didnt know they have a strict caste system that produces bullying and that bullying is okay. Im disappointed.

I want to know more about the foot swaying. This happens in all different situations. I've seen baby's doing that when mom does it first. What does this mean?

Elephants are dying each 15 minutes. Because some people killing the Elephants, people want to get their white bones wich is in front of their face

However, one way that elephants are NOT like us is that elephants don't massacre us for our body parts, and then turn them into trinkets!
