- ScottMcIntyre, on 07/17/2009, -2/+16A very interesting article about how these animals are adapting to the drastic changes in their natural environment. It's shocking that humans are wreaking this destruction. The expert cited, Dr Wittemyer, has a brilliant way with words...
QFA:"As the maintenance of elephant hierarchical sociality does not necessitate genetic underpinnings, direct benefits can be surmised to be substantive forces driving the formation of complex, hierarchical social structure among elephants." - redwolfwalker, on 07/17/2009, -7/+17Humans have a lot to learn
- Markf57, on 07/17/2009, -2/+10Elephants are amazing creatures!
- heliumflash, on 07/18/2009, -1/+6Your comment is baseless as humans act very collectively in stressful situations.
- jerryjamesstone, on 07/17/2009, -3/+7that is sooooo aweome. thanks for sharing this!
- Eurynom0s, on 07/18/2009, -2/+4Since they seem to have gotten foster care figured out, can we get elephants to run our foster care systems?
- tr0j, on 07/18/2009, -0/+2I hear what you're saying right there. The problem is way worser, centimated or millimated even?
- Keicharones, on 07/18/2009, -0/+2Only when the hunters become the hunted will they out law hunting.
Death penalty to poachers. - foofightrs777, on 07/18/2009, -0/+2As long as they aren't gay. We sure as hell wouldn't want gay elephants giving kids a loving stable home that they could grow up in thereby them up to prosper as adults.
- DirtPile, on 07/18/2009, -0/+1***** poaching. TR was cool, but still, ***** poaching.
- foofightrs777, on 07/18/2009, -0/+1Eek...I mangled that sentence badly. It should read:
As long as they aren't gay. We sure as hell wouldn't want gay elephants giving kids a loving and stable home to grow up in thereby enabling them to prosper as adults. - ASSASSYN360, on 07/18/2009, -1/+2Don't kill babar!
- Type1, on 07/18/2009, -1/+2Somebody needs to take care of the poachers and by that I mean, really take CARE of them.
- inactive, on 07/19/2009, -0/+1 What's happening to elephants is this with no tusks or small tusks are starting to appear because those with bug tusks have all been killed for so long and can't pass on their genes.
This is called guided evolution..
I suspect within 100 years all elephants except those in zoos will be tuskless. - fragMasterFlash, on 07/18/2009, -1/+1The penalty for poaching should be to have a circus elephant stand on one foot on your testicles. If nothing else the ewe tewb videos would be AWESOME.
- dudio, on 07/18/2009, -3/+0shoot 'em or put them in a circus.
Yay humans ! - heliumflash, on 07/18/2009, -5/+1In b4 "wrong use of decimated!!!"
- secret64sf, on 07/18/2009, -4/+0Fact: The population of African Elephants has tripled in the past six months.
- PHPnerd, on 07/18/2009, -5/+0Don't listen to this story heroes. The population of African Elephants are in a massive surplus.
