You just crushed my sense of wonder and beauty, with more wonder and beauty.
Yeah these examples are somehow more profound to me than elephants recognizing the moon as a thing.
I agree. The moon thing is still cool and doesn’t sound absurd; some nights it’s bright out and there’s a bright object up in the sky, and it occurs in regular intervals. Sounds believable that some animals would notice it and celebrate the light in the night. But I guess it’s a hoax hehe.
Yeah seems totally plausible to me, I got to see elephants in the wild a few years back, and it left me with no doubt that they were extremely intelligent. Looking into their eyes felt like locking eyes with a fellow human, you just felt there was thinking sentient creature in there. And their behavior in certain situations is very relatable, saw a mother route her calves around a too-aggressive camera tourist car, and once she was sure the babies were safe on the other side, she came back and did what I could only believe was a huge “F YOU” trumpet at the offending car to let them know they were out of line, turned around and went back after the kids.
DOOT DOOT MF
Reading that sounds like Noot Noot
reality is always stranger than fiction, beautiful imo
