How intelligent are elephants? Well, in Africa, there was a man sharing insights into the world of elephants. Meanwhile, Shavo, a baby elephant was wondering in the background, stealing the spotlight with each step!
As the man talked, using Shavo’s name as a prime example, the elephant himself decided to join the conversation. Shavo made his way over to the scene. With his presence impossible to ignore. The speaking man was unfazed by the interruption. The man then casually included Shavo’s amusing behavior to his speech.
“Ah, Shavo,” the man exclaimed with a smile, “always one to make an entrance, aren’t you?”
As the man continued talking, Shavo, decided to take matters into his own trunk! He sauntered over to Dr. Gerald, gently nudging him with his head, as if to say, “Hey, I’m here too!”
The man was unable to hold in his smile and chuckled.
