Thailand’s pride is crowned by the largest land mammals. Elephants have always been an integral part of their culture.

The authorities noticed two dead elephants in restricted national park. They suspected the intrusion of the poachers. On further investigation the sickening truth was revealed. The people seemed to have developed a taste for the elephant meat.

The elephants are being slaughtered in large numbers to satisfy this meat demands. The poachers are selling the elephant trunks which are of good value, and the rest of the elephant is ending up on the plate right from elephant foot, the bones to the reproductive organs. The urge to satisfy their taste buds proved stronger than the will to respect their culture.

This new trend has accelerted the possible extinction of the elephants and has laid more pressure on these gentle giants to wage a losing battle against their lives.

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.

Of all the animals pigs are very smart is what the scientists say. But can they match up to play with humans?

Here is how iPad App Pig Chase bridges this gap.  This game engages both humans and animals interactively in a game that gives emotional and moral boost for the humans and the pigs. The humans share a relation with the pigs and in turn become a source of entertainment for the pigs.

This was initially launched to give some sort of mental exercise for the pigs as study found that pigs that were frustrated often end up in quarreling with their neighbors , were often confused and unable to use their intelligence. This way of entertainment can use their smartness to be mentally active and can avoid conflicts.

A sneak peek into the Game

 

The whole idea here is to make the pigs a playmate to humans so that they will not end up in plates.
