Do elephants bury their dead? -- Curps 04:21, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I'm no expert but this site seems to think so BrokenSegue 04:33, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Elephants use to bury their dead by covering the bodies with leaves, branches, and twigs; while it is not the burying proper (when a pit is digged out and the corpse is put therein), it is still a big step ahead in comparison with just leaving corpses alone to the poachers. You will say: but we people do BURY our dead, while elephants just cover them with leaves or branches! No, not always. For example, so-called Karamoja tribe in Africa don't bury their dead at all, they just leave the cadavers to scavengers.
