Israeli Elephants Surround Young At Sound Of Air Siren, Reacting To Rockets In New Video
When elephants in the wild sense a lion or pack of hyenas in the area, protecting the younger elephants becomes the first priority. The group captured on film Wednesday obviously have no ability to understand that rockets were in the area, but the seriousness of the situation is highlighted at the video’s 1:50 mark, when a missile can be heard exploding nearby.
“Our elephants heard the siren, trumpeted and immediately gathered,” Safari spokesperson Ramat Gan explained to Vocativ. “They wrapped up little Latangy and Lalana and surrounded them, protecting them. After everything was over, they went back to their normal routines.”
Pretty interesting to me.
