By Danielle Wong, National Post The surprise death of a Toronto Zoo elephant yesterday offered a fresh challenge for veterinarian staff who have learned that elephants, like humans, mourn the death of their loved ones. When Thika found her mother, a 38-year-old African elephant named Tequila, dead early at the Zoo’s outdoor elephant exhibit, she stayed beside the body for four hours. Thika even started digging at the ground and throwing dirt on her mother’s body, as if hoping to get any response at all. It wasn’t until Toronto Zoo staff stepped in between the two elephants that Thika parted from Tequila. “Elephants are extremely intelligent,” the executive director of conservation education and research at the Zoo, Dr. Bill Rapley, said yesterday. “When we look at animal behaviour, it’s so hard to put it in human perspective. But elephants seem to show responses that are human-like.” In fact, Thika was looking around the exhibit last night, as if trying to find her mother, Dr. Rapley said. When a 40-year-old elephant named Patsy died at the Zoo in 2006, staff videotaped and observed the herd’s grieving ritual, the veterinarian said. “They touch, they move around slowly almost like mourning in a funeral,” he said, adding that the elephants who got along with Patsy came up to touch her with their trunks while the ones who fought with her stood further back. Not only do elephants grieve, research shows they remember and mourn their ...
