The elephant wise and faithful has inspired many writers, you are undoubtedly Babar, Dumbo, Hathi Mowgli's friend in the book of the Jungle
The elephant is practically the only pets that humans had not completely destroyed the original wild strain. This exception is due to the very slow growth of the elephant, the enormous amount of food it needs and the ease with which it can be tamed. It is therefore more economical to leave nature the care of his livestock and to take only the animal to its native forests when it is aged in rendering services, ie. Where it is almost an adult, to the age of twenty. It can also live seventy years and older.
When one wants to obtain these animals, it operates large battered in the forests they inhabit pushing elephants to an enclosure formed of solid fences and open on one side. When the whole herd, this approach, has thrown himself into this forum farm on the opening and it makes entering domestic elephants specially trained for this purpose and who assembled and directed them not cornac, know with an address and a truly amazing trick, assist in the capture of their fellow Indians. You pass them a noose their greenhouse solidly one foot back and firmly attached to the trunk of a tree: hunger, deprivation, bullying the rest are different, so that after six months the animal can be mounted and used the same work that reduced domestic elephants for many years.
