Everyone knows the elephant is the largest land mammal on earth but did you also know that they have no natural predators? Elephants also have the largest brain of any animal on the planet, weighing in at approximately 11 lbs. With all that grey matter upstairs, you know the elephants have got to be up to something good!
Their social circles consist of mainly females, making them a matriarch-oriented team, and I believe, some of the most successful neo-feminists out there today. Also, they're herbivores, which means they're eco-conscious too! Elephants are highly emotional creatures (why do you think Eeyore was modeled after them?) and they never forget! When a group stumbles upon another elephant's remains, they spend hours inspecting and smelling the bones. They seem to not only recognize family members that have passed, but experience grief over it.
Highly revered across Asia and celebrated as a god, Ganesh, within Hinduism, the elephant, in a word, is 'cool.' Let's be more like the elephants, guys.
