memory, and communication. Further, evidence suggests elephants may understand
pointing: the ability to nonverbally communicate an object by extending a finger, or
equivalent.
Elephants are thought to be highly altruistic animals that even aid other species, including
humans, in distress. In India, an elephant was helping locals lift logs by following a truck
and placing the logs in pre-dug holes upon instruction from the mahout (elephant trainer).
At a certain hole, the elephant refused to lower the log. The mahout came to investigate the
hold-up and noticed a dog sleeping in the hole. The elephant only lowered the log when the
dog was gone.
