Grieving elephant carries lifeless body of her calf before laying it to rest in ‘funeraɩ ceremony’
The mourning elephant lifts the limp body of its young and carries it gently towards the site of the funeral. As the elephant slowly moves, it cradles the lifeless calf with its trunk, mourning the loss of its offspring.
The elephant’s actions are strikingly similar to those of humans during a funeraɩ, as it seems to understand the significance of the solemn ceremony.
Finally, the elephant lays the body in the designated area for the funeral, showing respect for the departed with a display of heart-wrenching grief.
