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.
Because of its huge size, most animals stay away from the elephants. Most smaller animals are afraid of them.

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.
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.
Lions are the enemy of elephants because lions have been known to hunt and kill baby elephants. In fact, large groups of lions have learned how to successfully hunt and kill adult elephants who are not in the company of other adult elephants who will help protect them.

No way! Elephants are herbivores, which means plant eaters. They don't eat any animal.
It depends on who you are,really. But some people have a fear of elephants called Pachydermophobia.

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.
