Elephants are very special creatures. During years of extensive research and observation, scientists have discovered that elephants’ mourning pattern is very similar to that of humans.
Speaking to National Geographic, George Wittemyer, a Colorado State University conservation biologist who has studied elephants for a long time, said, “Elephants have respect for their dead, but their interaction with their dead is not something we fully understand.”
He added that these creatures act upon emotion when a member of their herd dies, which is truly fascinating and speaks of their emotional inteligence.
Twitter user Parveen Kaswan shared a video which proved yet again that elephants are able to mourn death. They not only bury the bodies but show respect to the bones later on.
The video shows a number of people and vehicles parked in the middle of the road. The reason why is that a herd of elephants is crossing the street.
What caught the attention of the bystanders was that one of the elephants was carrying something with its trunk. When they took a closer look, they realized that the animal was carrying a dead baby elephant.
The herd then stopped and placed the body of the dead calf on the ground as the rest of the group gathered around it.
“The family just don’t want to leave the baby,” Kaswan wrote in the caption and added that the sight resembled “funeral procession.”
As they continued their journey, another animal took the dead baby with its trunk.
To see the incredible moment go to the video below.

WATCH: Travis Kelce Pushes Head Coach in Sideline Outburst
Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce erupted in frustration towards head coach Andy Reid during a viral sideline outburst in Super Bowl LVIII.
The incident followed a crucial fumble by Chiefs’ starting running back Isaih Pacheco on the team’s opening drive. Kelce, who was not involved in the play, expressed his discontent by confronting Reid, pushing him in the chest.
Video footage showed Kelce being restrained by Chiefs’ pass-catching back Jerick McKinnon after the physical altercation with Reid.
Speculation arose that Kelce’s frustration stemmed from not being included in the play leading to the fumble. He appeared to mouth the words “keep me in” while attempting to communicate with Reid.
The incident sparked widespread discussion on social media, with many criticizing Kelce’s actions.
“Travis Kelce’s behavior towards his coach is unacceptable,” remarked conservative commentator Jack Posobiec.
“Travis Kelce’s behavior is disappointing,” commented a Lakers fan account LakeShowYo.
Some social media users also made light of Kelce’s relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift, joking about her potential reaction to the incident.
