The African Elephant is powerful. While it can easily destroy a lion, it is the lion that is proclaimed the “King of the Jungle.” The African elephant is adaptable. It thrives in the heat of the desert savannah and the cool of the equatorial rainforest. It is an intelligent animal. It’s ability to anticipate change, belies that intelligence. Like us humans in so many ways, the African elephant mourns the loss of its compatriots. Like us, it’s majesty is apparent in the fact that it exists. The African Elephant is the real ”King of the Jungle.” For all its innate power and intelligence, it would remain unaware of that power if captured as a baby calf and denied the purview of itself. Like us, it could be placed in the service of others less powerful simply because it did not know its own power.
