ʻO nā proboscis e noho nei i kēia lā nā mamo o ka papa nui o nā māmela i noho ʻia, i komo pū me nā mammoth a me nā mastodons. Kapa ʻia lākou i kēia manawa he ʻelepani.

ʻO Carthaginians, nā Peresia kahiko, nā Indians - ua ʻike kēia mau lāhui āpau i ka hana akamai ʻana i nā ʻelepani i ke kaua. Hoʻomanaʻo wale kekahi i ka hoʻokūkū India kaulana o Alexander Nui a i ʻole nā hana pūʻali koa o Hannibal, kahi e hana ai nā ʻelepani kaua ma ke ʻano he mea kaua weliweli.
Hoʻohana ʻia lākou no nā pono o ka home ma ke ʻano he traction ikaika a me ka hāpai hāpai. Ma waena o ko Roma, lawelawe lākou e hoʻokipa i ka lehulehu. ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻino loa o nā ʻelepani ka ʻimi ʻana iā lākou i mea e loaʻa ai ka "niho ʻelepani" waiwai. ʻO ka hapanui o kēia mau manawa he mau huelo holoholona.
I nā manawa āpau hiki iā lākou ke hana i nā mea kālai nani o lākou, he kumu kūʻai nui loa.

ʻO ka pinepine, hōʻike ʻia nā ʻelepani me ke ʻano maluhia, magnanimous, launa, hoʻomanawanui, a me nā holoholona akahai. Eia nō naʻe, he mea kūpono ke ʻōlelo ʻana i nā ʻelepani ʻāhiu e noho kaʻawale ana mai ka pūʻā. ʻO ka hui ʻana me lākou no kekahi mea ola, me nā kānaka, ʻaʻole maikaʻi ke hele.

He aha nā ʻano o ka ʻelepani - hoʻoholo ʻia e kāna morphology a me kona wahi noho. ʻO nā hōʻailona maʻamau o nā ʻelepani: kahi pahu lawe lima lōʻihi, ʻo ia ka lehelehe luna i hoʻopili ʻia me ka ihu, kahi kino mana, nā wāwae e like me ka log, kahi ʻāʻī pokole.
ʻO ke poʻo e pili ana i ke kino e manaʻo ʻia he nui ma muli o ka hoʻonui ʻia o nā iwi lae. Nui nā ʻelepa i nā ʻiʻo - hoʻololi i nā incisors i ulu i ko lākou ola. Ma nā wāwae he ʻelima mau manamana wāwae e pili ana kekahi i kekahi.

Aia kekahi pale momona ma waenakonu o ka wāwae, e lawelawe ana ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻopūʻiwa. Ke hele ka ʻelepani i ka wāwae, pālahalaha ia, e hoʻonui ana i kahi o ke kākoʻo. Nui a ākea nā pepeiao o nā ʻelepani. Mānoanoa lākou ma ke kumu, kokoke aniani i nā lihi.
Me lākou, hoʻoponopono ʻo ia i ka mahana o ke kino, fanning iā ia iho e like me ka peahi. Hāpai ka wahine i hoʻokahi cub no 20-22 mau mahina. ʻO ka pinepine he hoʻoilina kēia. Kākaʻikahi loa ka ʻelua, a laila ʻaʻole ola kekahi. Noho nā ʻelepani i 65-70 mau makahiki. Loaʻa iā lākou kahi ʻano nohona hoʻomohala maikaʻi. Noho kaʻawale nā wahine me nā bipi keiki, noho kaʻawale nā kāne.
ʻO kahi liʻiliʻi e pili ana i nā ʻelepani i ka zoo a me ka Circus. ʻAʻole hiki i kēlā me kēia zoo ke mālama i kahi ʻelepani. ʻAʻole paʻakikī ko lākou makemake makemake, akā pono lākou e neʻe nui.

Maʻalahi ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa i nā ʻelepani; he artistic, hoʻolohe a akamai hoʻi. Hoʻomaopopo ka poʻe he nui i ka circus kaulana a Natalia Durova.
Ua huakaʻi ʻo ia i nā kūlanakauhale like ʻole, a ma laila ka poʻe e hele nui ai e nānā i nā ʻelepani.
