Yes! It's wierd, but all elephants (big or small) are afraid of mice. I don't know about rats, but I think elephants are afraid of them too.
The urban legend about elephants being afraid of one of the smallest (mice) has been perpetuated in cartoons, as well as popular animated films such as Disney's 'Dumbo'. It's not clear where the idea came from, but many people have theorized that elephants might be afraid of mice because they fear that the tiny creatures will crawl inside their trunks, irritating them. Elephants in captivity have been exposed to mice because they are frequently found in and around the elephants' feed (hay). Many caretakers have observed mice crawling on the trunks and faces of (awake) elephants and observed that the elephants take absolutely no notice of the mice, much less express fear or in their presence. Based on observations of interactions between elephants and mice, and the apparent peaceful coexistence, it's unclear where the myth may have originated.
mice. and they are afraid of humans, they're just aggressive when they're afraid.
There have been test with South African elephants to see if they were really afraid of mice. Mice have stopped elephants in their tracts when placed in front of the elephant. The animal showed signs of being cautious and upset but not proven to be fearful.
Bears fur is very thick and the only place vulnerable is either their nose or eyes. They protect themselves by swatting the flies away, but if they get stung they dont care, they loveeeee honey.
Elephants are not afraid of mice and most often would not even notice a mouse if it was near them. When elephants do notice mice, it is mostly because of a change in their territory, and that can startle the herd animal.
Elephants are afraid of mice. Giraffes have blue tongues. Giraffes are silent.
Neither. Like mice and rats, they are rodents, but they are only distantly related to mice and rats.
Pretty much every animal on this Earth. The elephant is the largest land mammal, so even lions are scared of them and run away because they do not want to become lion pulp. The only creature not scared of them is giraffes because they are taller than elephants and cannot get squished by them.
Rats and mice are afraid of any predator. Nearly anything will eat them. Some predators that frighten them include cats, dogs, owls, foxes, and snakes. Rats are also usually afraid of humans. edit: Rats are also afraid of the letter "P" If you say any thing with a "P" in it (Pizza/pop/parlor) they flinch/squeek/run. They are also afraid of balloons. I own three rats, and I'm being serious.
I don't think they have to be afraid of mice as they never have confronted them, ever. Whales live in water while mice live on dry land, out of water. I don't think that whales are even aware of whether such a thing (mice) actually even exists. My answer would be no.
well they are not afraid of Chihuahuas but they are afraid of mice but it's not like when they see it it's like a stampede its more like a stop and move back and away. (hope this helps) =]
Mice and Rats are rodents.
