An amazing thing about elephants is their sensitivity about death. When a elephant dies the herd has a funeral. They are silent like they were remembering the elephant. They pick about the bones and hold them. They will try to identify the elephant by looking at the skull. Elephants do not act like this around other dead animals. If a member of a herd starts to die the herd tries to bring it back to life by lifting it. Elephants also cry when a herd member dies. Later if the herd passes the same spot where a family member died the herd will stand still and be silent. These animals are truly human.
