It turns out that this old saw is quite true. The Daily Mail has the most touching story of friendship to report.
The two elephants are retired circus animals who were reunited after twenty years apart at an animal sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee. They recognized each other immediately, and went wild with joy, hugging and playing. Apparently it was so touching that many were moved to tears. Animals never fail to amaze me. Even my own cats, after a decade, can still think of ways to outsmart me, that I could never have dreamed would cross their minds. I like elephants and every time I see a story like this it makes me wonder to what degree to we underestimate the intelligence of many of the animals we find around us.
