Elephant Memories
In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya
after graduating from Louisiana State University .
On a hike through the bush, he came across
a young bull elephant standing with one leg
raised in the air.
The elephant seemed distressed,
so Peter approached it very carefully.
He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants
foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply
embedded in it.
As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked
the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant
gingerly put down its foot.
The elephant turned to face the man and with a
rather curious look on its face, stared at him
for several tense moments.
Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else
but being trampled.
Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned
and walked away.
Peter never forgot that elephant or the events
of that day.
Twenty years later, Peter was walking through
the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son.
As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of
the creatures turned and walked over to near where
Peter and his son Cameron were standing.
The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its
front foot off the ground, then put it down.
The elephant did that several times then trumpeted
loudly, all the while staring at the man.
Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could
not help wondering if this was the same elephant.
Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the
railing and made his way into the enclosure.
He walked right up to the elephant and stared back
in wonder.
The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk
around one of Peter legs and slammed him against
the railing, killing him instantly.
Probably wasn’t the same elephant.
