@thezenfuldog Well actually if I see a kitten or a puppy I just run to cuddle it!

I think the issue is that it's just a smaller creature. I feel certain the elephant would do the same thing if you put a baby kitten or an 8-week old puppy in front of the Elephant...it would be something "weird" the elephant had never seen before so it would back away---just like a human does.

they should see if elephants go balistik or not when they are near other small animals (bigger than the mouse.) or simply try to avoid it like with the mouse. if they freak out with the small animals they are afraid of them or if it simply back up from it they are simply trying to avoid it.
they need to revisit this.

It's easier to find one mouse than multiple mice... You have a point though....
-
They go through all the trouble of getting two elephants and only bring one fucking mouse.
-
I think it's just about respect small animals, and Elephant will do the same with another small animals, show us another small animals to judge

@Tonenciuc i agree with your statement
-
That's an older elephant who's been socialized to humans, so it's naturally more mellow, but with a younger male in the wild, a freak-out is pretty likely. So call it confirmed, and be grateful you didn't get a real demonstration of an elephant going rogue.

He put the mouse in a piece of shit. And then put it on his mouth.

i think the elephant knows that mouse is also a living thing and does not want to harm it because it is not a danger for him. we humans do the same with small animals when we see them. we do not want to squash them so we avoid just like elephant did with the mouse and i am sure he would do the same with other small animals if it can see them.
