Did you know that elephants are actually afraid (or at least startled) by mice?

Comments

• So it is more of the elephant being startled than actual fear?

• From what I understand that is it, but this is going back about 5 years to a documentary I saw on discovery!

• I just saw them testing the "myth" on Mythbusters. And every time, the elephants would back away from the mice.

• I still think that the exploding cement truck is the best thing ever shown on TV.

• The height of the moment was when Adam picks up a part of the truck and said "Well there's your problem!".

• That's where I saw it too. Looks like they have great eyesight and can pick up on small movement.

• It's amazing isn't it? But then again, look how gentle and soft they can be around little ones and how careful they can put down their feet if they need to. I loved seeing the big elephants leaving the mice in the dust! lol!
