You will see elephants do this in a circus, this is normally because they've been trained to do it. You may also see babies holding onto the adults tail for security ( like a child holding an adults hand) .They don't walk in lines holding each others tails in the wild, they walk in groups; They're highly intelligent and sociable animals.
