Elephants are distinguished not only by their gigantic size, but also by their generosity. Unlike all other animals, they understand what death is. Elephants have special rituals with which they welcome the birth of newborns and mourn the dead. Lions are fierce, tigers are majestic, monkeys are quick-witted, peacocks are beautiful, but only an elephant combines all these qualities.
