[post_page_title]Herd mentality[/post_page_title]
It’s usually the female elephants who stick together, along with their young. The males tend to abandon the herd in search of females once they’re the right age. Due to the motherly influence in the herds, there’s usually a strong feeling of family that is difficult for anyone to sever. You’ll never find a female elephant abandoning her child by choice, although sometimes they’re put in situations where there’s nothing they can do. That’s what happened to one young elephant in South Africa, who was abandoned by the rest of his herd when danger approached him. Terrified and alone, he was left to fend for himself when something unexpected happened.
