9. What about the elephants from an African rescue center?

The elephants that had been saved, rehabilitated and released by the center's manager. Those elephants grouped together and walked hundreds of miles when the man died. They arrived at his grave together. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Humans think they have a pretty solid grasp on reality. When strange occurrences like this happen, most people write it off as coincidence or tripe. I am not a "ghost-buster" or even a metaphysical guy. I think (by observation) that there are many things, especially in the animal world, that we do not comprehend.

these critters we love and live with, we know so little about their world. Voice for Peace Jan 2013 #1
