God’s Amazing Creation
The Amazing Elephant
The elephant is the largest land dwelling animal on earth! There are only three species of elephant remaining with
the largest being the African Bush Elephant which can weigh up to 6.5 tons (13,000lbs). Elephants have the long-
est gestation period of any animal. A female elephant remains pregnant for between 18 to 22 months. After their
birth, baby elephants (calves) remain with their mothers for about 10 years! The female calves will remain with
their mothers and female relatives while the males will leave the group and live with communities of other males
or lead solitary lives. Elephants are considered to be quite intelligent creatures with their intelligence being com-
pared to that of primates and cetaceans (dolphins, orcas, whales, etc.). They communicate with each other via
touch, site, smell and even infrasound (seismic communication). Elephants have more smell receptors than any
other mammal allowing them to smell food and detect threats from many miles away. Also, elephants are re-
nowned for their exceptional memory. They can remember friends from many years prior but can also remember
their enemies as well. One of the most unexpected things that elephants do is mourn for their deceased relatives.
There have been many reports of several elephants gathering together in a display of mourning over a deceased
member of their herd with even some reports of them shedding tears during these displays. Fun fact: Elephants
are the only animals that have 4 forward-facing knees. With these unique appendages, they can exceed speeds of
15 miles per hour while running! As amazing and majestic as these giants are, they are nowhere near as amazing
or majestic as the God that created them and imparted them with the many unique qualities they posses.5˚ Domingo de Tiempo Ordinario 5th Sunday of Ordinary Time February 9th, 2020
