Does the elephant animal really have a powerful memory?

Answer 1

The Elephant's Memory is a pictorial language consisting of more than a hundred and a fifty combinable graphic elements (pictograms and ideograms). It invites people from various cultural backgrounds to communicate and explore a new means of expression. The system presents a playful learning environment oriented primarily towards children, and provides an explorational tool enabling new approaches to the concept of language.The pictograms develop a visual link between the members of a community, and provide an original material for families and educators to encourage dialogue and creativity. The Elephant's Memory is designed as an experimental workshop where innovative reflections on language, computers, and communication can be explored in small or large groups. As the internet turns into a global multi-lingual community, the project searches for new ways to bridge cultures, and builds a transitional space between natural languages.

Answer 2

So, it is believed and to some extent scientifically proven that elephants remember everything they see and feel. This is a very important tool for their survival. The matriach which leads the herd knows all the vital sources of food and water along their migration path and during her life time passes on this information to the younger members of the herd. Sometimes, the herd may change routes because of various circumstances and even these alternative routes and sources should be remembered. And they are. Elephants have the largest brains among all land mammals and since the brain does not do as much activity as the human brain does (like talk, innovate and so on), there is lot of space there to remember things.

Once, two elephants who used to be at the same circus were separated because of some circumstances and tens of years later when the two came face to face, they immediately reconginsed each other with trumpets of joy and reunion. While that is just a basic example of their memory capabilities, it still shows that elephants remember everything.
