Watch the footage below of an elephant caught on CCTV camera cleaning up the trash and emptying it into a nearby rubbish bin.
It was recorded on December 9, 2014 at 16:48.
It is such a humbling sight to see a wild animal picking up the trash. The cleanliness of this elephant puts into context just how careless and self-destructive human beings actually are. That is what is so humbling about watching this video.
Here is a simple excercise. Take a walk in your neighbourhood. Have a look at the scenery, and if you are lucky enough not to spot litter, pat yourself on the back. However, if you take a look and see litter at every turn, surrender and agree that the human race is a very filthy species.
Say it – I am part of a very filthy species.
Imagine a world where this elephant was head of environmental affairs, what a pleasure would it be to live in this town?
The saying, give credit where credit is due, exists for a reason – time and again, science has proved that elephants are intellectually ahead of the pack.
Here are some impressive things you didn’t know about elephants:
1. They can identify languages
3. They understand the human body language
5. They have the ability to mourn their dead.
7. They have extraordinary memories.
