According Learn Animals, captive-born elephants view humans as members of their family.
Since they are self-aware beings, they recognize their own power and make appropriate use of it while engaging with people.
Their habit of softly stroking individuals with their trunks serves as a way for them to interact with others.
Elephants are sociable creatures that care for and protect one another by living in herds, avoiding danger together, and providing emotional support for one another.
When humans are involved, elephants are known to accept them into the herd and treat them with affection since they build strong familial relationships with them.
Protecting elephants at all costs
According to World Wide Life, over the past century, elephant populations have significantly decreased across Africa and Asia.
Asian elephant populations are most at risk from habitat loss and subsequent human-elephant conflict, while African elephant numbers are most at risk from poaching for the illegal ivory trade.
That is why the community or families such as this little girl’s are very important for the existence of the elephants.
Because they know how to take care of and love these sweet and gentle giants.
See how gently this elephant entertains a little girl in the video below!
