Why the Elephant?

 

elephant

 

I’ve always loved elephants, with their lumbering gaits, their loose fitting skins, and their big ears.  I think they set a great example to people and organisations in a number of ways:

 

  1. Elephants CLAIM THEIR FULL SPACE IN THE WORLD, reaching 4 metres tall and 7000 kgs in weight
  2. Elephants are HIGHLY RESILIENT, with their 70 year lifespan among the longest in the animal world
  3. Elephants are INTELLIGENT, with similar structured brains to humans, but with 3 times as many neurons
  4. Elephants have FORMIDABLE STRENGTH, being able to carry 9000kg loads and push over trees with ease
  5. Elephants are SURPRISINGLY GENTLE, and are able to interact with their young in a very tender way
  6. Elephants are EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT, as one of the few animals that shows grief at the loss of life
  7. Elephants are SOCIAL, forming and maintaining deep and intricate connections with other elephants
