Both the reading and the lecture are about why elephants are fascinating animals. The reading claims three beliefs about elephants while the reading casts doubts all the claims in the reading and provides three explanation of support.
First, the reading mentions that elephants have the ability to know when they are going to die, and that is why they leave their herds and go other places alone when they become old. This point is challenged in the lecture by saying that elephants are not aware of the time that they die. It says that there are practical reasons why they go near water when they get older, such as their teeth lose their ability to chew and it become difficult for them to eat hard things. Food near water is mostly soft and that is the reason why they go there. That clearly explains the elephant graveyards.
Second, the reading assumes that elephants are the only animals have artistic abilities because they can use paintbrush. However, the lecture posits that by explaining the training elephants by touching their ears. These elephants trained by people by touching their ears because elephant's ears are so sensitive, so everytime the person touches the ears, the elephant repeats the pattern. However, elephants do not know the drawing represents any thing.such as flowers and animals.
Third, the reading states that elephants are afraid of mice, and it provides an example of experiment which the herd of elephants was faced with several mice, the elephants tried to escape from them. The reading, however, says that scientists misinterpret that experiment because elephants are not reacting to mice themselves, actually they are reacting something that they do not know. A mice is not a familiar animal to elephants. When they get use to see them at a zoo, they do not mind at all.
