  • Yes, elephant swaying is a distress reaction to being held captive and not having their biological and behavioral needs met. Please search “elephant stereotypy” and “the captivity industry” to learn more. The elephants will thank you.

  • what the previous post said is right, this is a stereotypical behaviour which is due to boredom and lack of the suitable environment

  • That's not dancing. It's repetitive behaviour which helps the elephant relieve the stress and boredom of being in captivity. It's a pretty powerful sign that the animal is not being cared for properly.
