Elephants live in close-knit family groups, forming strong bonds and displaying deep empathy toward one another. If an elephant is injured or distressed, others offer comfort and support, demonstrating genuine care. Humans could learn a lot from elephants – if we communicated with the same compassion, the world could be a kinder and more peaceful place for all living beings.
