it's amazing how the elephants know exactly with minerals they are deprived of and where to get it, which is more than i can say about people-sucking on the tit of doctors...pitiful.

@anwarior Well that is because nature intended that survival belong to the strong and smart. In the case of humans, we've thrived to the point where everyone gets to live, no matter how much of a stupid brainwashed drone they are.

@anwarior Very good point! the doctors keep changing what is good for us as well! apparently we now need 9 hours sleep as opposed to 8! this is where animals have sussed they sustain there needs, with our high intelligence we just try and fill quotas and tick boxes!

The dirt also cleans out toxins they get from some plants
