tdog 0 #1 December 28, 2006 I just watched the most amazing animal story I have seen... A baby Elephant fell into a quicksand like pond. The mother communicated to the group. She knelt down on her knees and used her tusk to get the baby out. A few others came to the back side, and between the group they lifted the baby out. Others set up a perimeter to fight off predators, while others broke the shoreline and made a ramp so the kid could run up. After the baby got out - the parents and friends all made their rounds to make sure it was alright. It looked just like humans teaming up and delegating responsibility. I just never have seen animals team up and delegate like this before... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 December 28, 2006 QuoteIt looked just like humans teaming up and delegating responsibility. HA! Humans wouldn't have worked as well together. They would have all stood their and watched their baby drown while waiting for the FD, EMS and PD to show up. Then they would yell, scream and be ballistic with the rescue crews because they weren't working "fast enough" of "good enough." Then they would sue the the city for a "slow" response time costing their baby's life. This is of course instead of having any sort of personal responsibility.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

(yes I'm a synic today) No, that would have been like a good producer, but not this time. He fell in while trying to drink in a drought - and since he was a kid he had to get closer and lower, and fell.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
