Bizarre and chaotic things about Elephants you never know.

SO-Called "sensed danger" an elephant will go into panic mode and bury somebody alive the elephant was likely trying to protect them from something like a predator or saber tooth tiger though this is not always the case an elephant may bury a human simply because they are afraid or lost in a moments of confusion or sadness this has happened more than once with children most famously in 2008 when an 4-year old boy wandered away from his family in Hawaii and was found buried 2 feet beneath the surface of the sand next to two toppled palm trees his parents had given him a coin as he walked away so that he could find his way back home number seven elephants can drink water straight from the ground elephants have been seen doing this and it's not just with water either as they have also been seen drinking mud and even dirt although why they do this is unknown number six elephants are capable of going without water for up to four days and usually only go without drinking for about two hours at a time but once they start drinking again they keep going until they're sated elephants will often travel in groups of about 10-30 creatures and although these groups are mostly peaceful interactions between the members do happen from time to time there have been reports of fights between different groups of elephants including intergroup violence between different herds of elephants however these fights are usually very brief and are usually over something like food or territory number five

Elephants can live up to L90 years old which is quite impressive for such a large creature some people believe that it's because of their long life spans that Elephants have never gone through the process of natural selection which would cause them to become smaller or weaker over time like other creatures have done Elephants also consume a lot less than humans which helps them maintain their weight even as they age number four

Elephants are able to naturally heal many wounds slower than humans do due to their thick skin Elephants bruise less often which means that if an injury does occur it will take longer for it to heal but eventually it will Elephant skin is also designed so that even after it has been wounded it retains its waterproofing properties Number three

Elephants can lift up to 1,000 pounds which is double what a human can lift Elephants are able to do this because their trunks are extremely strong and flexible even though their trunk is strong it's not the only thing that makes an elephant powerful Often times when other animals try to attack an elephant they end up being dominated by its sheer size and strength Number two

An elephant's trunk is actually one of its strongest parts An average trunk weighs 100-120 pounds and has over 20,000 muscles in it so when an elephant grabs something with its trunk it can actually hold on for quite awhile In addition to using its trunk as a grip tool, an elephant uses its trunk as part of its communication system Most importantly, when an elephant wants you to know something you'll know about it because whatever object the
