Even when we're shooting them in the face and cutting their tusks off?
johnnydangerous
I hope the elephants don't start acting like the catfish ...

Now I'm sad about Murphy, thanks
Scoryllo
Great. Now whenever I will think of war elephants I'll have the image of Eric Cartman riding Cthulhu in my head!

she is missed
Volcanuz
Can't believe she is dead. Just feels odd really.Some times i forget and think "wonder what she is.. oh yeah.."
ordnot
Elephants also bury their dead. They have been known to bury dead humans too. Also they are bad at telling dead humans from sleeping ones.
TheBeardedDragon
How do they dig a pit large enough to bury fellow elephants? Or do they just drag them around until they find one?

How was this research conducted?

HUMANS ARE.. A CUTE
RackhamTheRed
so... when an elephant sees me it thinks i will shit and piss everywhere...
TKRBrownstone
You mean....you don't shit and piss everywhere?
RackhamTheRed
don't tell the elephants
Flyndaran
I somehow doubt they trained and made an MRI machine big enough for elephants. They did for dogs though, and yes, they do love their owners.
ItDontMatterDoesIt
I dunno about that...Elephants are known to eat humans

Oh god they're going to make us their pets! Kill them all!

Is this true or another one of those internet "facts"?

Peace and love to Cute Brittany Murphy.

Ln I had a dream I had a pet elephant that helped me solve crimes and I went to a fancy dinner party and had to keep him out of sight

I didn't know I missed Britney Murphy till now, thanks.
SelectivelyRelevant
Don't watch 8-mile unless you wanna miss her even more.
StripTheFleshSaltTheWound
Same. I don't know why but it bums me out that she died.
iKnowMostlyRandomFacts
For me, she was “that girl we all knew and were friends with” and seemed so down to earth and relatable
wurdtoyer
Because it's sad, internet stranger. Because it's sad.
xmtrdude
So the elephant that stomped my high school drafting teacher to death just wanted to pet him? Ok.

robbyyohe6
Yeah, like how can that even be proven? Did they ask the talking elephant or just guess?
chuiiiwuurrgg
https://imgur.com/qtsSk6a How do they mapped out brains of different species to same emotions nevermind putting elephant into MRI machine!
Barkinsons
fMRI is not even accurate in our species
chuiiiwuurrgg
If you refer to recent scandal about fMRI it was a bug in software that now should be fixed. I do not think that method of fMRI is flawed
saaaaaaaaam
Sure about that « fact » ? Source ? I’m pretty sure if I meet an elephant in its natural environment it won’t try to cuddle me
Cutsforhugs
Some humans have trauma or fear of dogs, some elephants have trauma or fear of humans. :^)
TKRBrownstone
Yeah I've heard Elephants are one of the more dangerous animals to meet in the wild in Africa. Hippos being the worst.....
aninvisiblemaniac
can't we just have this?
Killertortilla
Ahh but we also have the natural reaction to want to squeeze things to death when they are cute because we don't know how to react properly.
C0mtraya
Elonth
and if its true. it makes it even sadder that to them. We are puppies going around killing them and enslaving them.
happynewyear001
We're more like cats then?
16letterd1
To be fair, people do get killed by dogs too.
foxfire1112
thinking thing is cute does not mean trust it. Obviously this depends on the enviroment
asm80dfa8sdfj
It depends honestly. In some areas, elephants have learned how shitty humans are. In others, they like humans. Depends on the people.
ZachsAnomaiy
Some return to specific temples and villages time and time again, or know specific places they will be welcomed and bring their offspring.
DickPicEnthusiast
Folks claim they determined this because the corresponding area of their brain 'lights up'. Where the hell did they get an MRI scanner >
DickPicEnthusiast
> big enough to fit an elephant? Even if there was one, and the elephant would stay still enough for an actually usefull scan, it would
DickPicEnthusiast
Probably be too freaked out by the noise and being stuck in a giant whooping tube to find anything 'cute'.
MasterNateT
Do you want to cuddle all strays?
Leroux2008
VCobra
Yes.
KaptenN
Yes.
ConcerningFart
It's not got any source. Totally fabricated
percivaldanvers
If it's a lie, it's a lie I can live with
Steppdeckenwolf
You mean they did not put an elephant into an MRI scanner and showed it pictures of humans?

'AGGRESSIVE CUDDLING TIME!!!'
gogogadgetharikari
Elephant: I consider you a threat People: Ohh fuck

"Aaaaahm gonna gitcha! AAAAAHM GONNA GITCHA!"

Why did they run away?
justwannarunaway
Must! Cuddle!
richardson1701
Even Elephants have cute aggression.
Thirdy
Just turn around an drive off - "abort mission! I repeat: abort mission now" - better lay down my bike carefully, though.

“Let’s ditch the bike, I’m pretty sure we are faster running”
StopStaringAtMyUserNameItsVeryShy
It's faster than slowly turning the bike around
portalhoar
Clutch in, gas on, lean, clutch out and you find yourself the other way round
kauttadnd
Not like you can't turn it fast.. That is just amateur driver.

And therefore some would say he made the right choice according to his skill and knowledge.
