Elephants are extremely smart. They have the largest brain of any land animal, with the biggest part of their brains used for storing information that they have gathered over their lifetimes. Because they can live up to 100 years or more, they store a vast amount of information and they can recall it at any time. This is where the phrase "memory like an elephant" came from.
