Viral Video: Elephant's Remarkable Intelligence Leaves Singer Hariharan Amazed; Sparks Debate
Elephants, renowned for their intelligence and remarkable behaviour, once again showcased their brilliance in a viral video where two elephants were seen boarding a truck with remarkable discipline.
Shared by singer Hariharan on Instagram, the video garnered nearly 35,000 likes within a day, sparking a divided reaction from netizens.
In the video, the first elephant can be seen climbing a stool to board the loading truck, followed by the second elephant who executes the task with equal finesse. Notably, the second elephant not only climbs the stool but also lifts it with its trunk and places it inside the truck, demonstrating impressive cognitive abilities.
While many applauded the elephants for their intelligence, others expressed disappointment at the practice of domesticating wild animals for profit.
Bollywood playback singer Papon praised the elephants, calling them “one of the most intelligent beings on this planet.”
Similarly, an Instagram user remarked, “Wow. Not only common sense but genius also.”
Another user expressed disappointment over the post for ignoring the atrocities on elephants by humans. “Are we supposed to be amazed at their intelligence or feel sad that they’re going thru torture?
Even we humans want to sit comfortably on a ride but they…….. sad to see this kind of video from your page,” commented another Instagram user.
“Well trained. But they live freedom, freely where they can live.”
“I wish we get the common sense that they belong to the jungle and are much more powerful than the humans.”
“Please remove those chains it’s really very sad to see them chained.
Despite their revered status in Hinduism and their significance as sacred animals, elephants often fall victim to cruelty and trafficking for the illegal ivory trade. Domesticated elephants are particularly vulnerable to abuse and mistreatment, having been captured from the wild and subjected to exploitation for various purposes.
The viral video serves as a reminder of the complex relationship between humans and elephants, highlighting the need for greater awareness and compassion towards these majestic creatures.
