I came across this video on Sanriotown, and I thought I’d share it with you.:P

Just because I’m a total geek when it comes to useless trivia (as you should have noticed by now), I just had to check where the idea that elephants have a bottomless pit-memory bin came from.

Apparently, elephants do have good memory, as seen in their remembering the paths that their herds take. It’s so good that they can, believe it or not, pass on genetic memories of directions and places across generations. They also remember people, and can recognize them even if they’ve been separated for a long time.

So when you’re in the zoo or in a wildlife sanctuary, be careful how you treat elephants. You never know when they’ll get their revenge.:P
