summarize the professor and the reading's different opinions about special behaviors in elephants. ke1W2

The reading states that elephants are the most exciting animals for human beings and introduces three unusual behavior that can be seen in these giant animals. However, the professor disagrees with the reading's claims about fascinating behaviors in elephants and refutes all of them. First, the reading expresses that old elephants can predict the time of their death, and they react to this prediction by leaving their herd and going to live in specific places near water to die alone in there. The professor opposes this idea and explains that aged elephants are not aware of their death time. She believes that elephants' teeth become less strong as they become old. So, elephants try to go to places in which they can find soft vegetables to eat. Usually, soft vegetables are found around water, which is why old elephants' bones are found around lakes. Second, the reading claims that elephants are the sole animals on the earth that humans can teach them to use their trunks and paint objects similar to flowers. However, the professor disagrees with this claim and believes that since elephants have extremely sensitive ears, trainers use this feature to teach them a special pattern. They touch the animal's ear every time they want it to move the brush, and by this method, they produce conditioning in the elephant. Thus, in the professor's opinion, what the animal learns is a pattern of movements and cannot be considered an artistic talent. Third, the reading mentions that according to a recent experiment and also, based on a Roman scientist, elephants are more scared of mice than other animals that may cause them harm. It adds that these animals run away from mice. The professor refutes this idea and mentions that elephants run away from mice because they are unfamiliar with it. The lecturer believes that it is an instinct that we can see in all animals to get away from unknown creatures. For example, elephants that are captive in zoos are familiar with mice and do not try to run away from them, but, on the other hand, wild elephants in nature run away from mice because they consider it a danger to themselves.
