At current poaching rates, many wild African species may disappear within our lifetime. This includes elephants. What many do not know about elephants is they live in families just like we do! They are the largest land mammals, and their herds consist of aunts and cousins who help care for and teach the younger elephants. Elephants also grieve like us, shed tears and even try to bury their dead. The poaching of elephants must stop, but how can we do this? Perhaps we can learn a lesson from the monkey, giraffe, horse, bee, the lion, the cow and the hippopotamus in this story!
