Elephants are often associated with Long term memory. And it was creatures like the great apes and fox that were often associated with intelligence. However an experiment on a caprive teen aged elephant really proved that these gentle giants are soon to be added into the clever and smart animals list.

Experiment:

The elephant was lured by its favourite edible item on high up the branches of a tree.

 After several attempts of lifting his trunk to reach the branch, sitting up on his hind legs to reach the branch, the elephant seemed to have given up. Only to return with a box that he plays with to be used as a tool. To eveybody’s surprise he puts the box right under the branch perches the front two legs on the box carefully to shake his well earned treat.

The use of tools was thought to be restricted to limited number of animal species but this experiment revealed that human intelligence is not to under rate any other intelligence.
