In a series of experiments elephants have been shown to be capable of spontaneous problem solving.
To test elephant intelligence researchers hung some food out of reach over an enclosure and placed a heavy cube on the ground a short distance away. To their delight the elephant was able to figure out that if it pushed the cube underneath it was able to stand on it in order to reach the food above.Kandula, a seven year old Asian elephant living in Washington D. C. ’s National Zoo, has proven that elephants are as smart as those that spend a lot of time around them have believed.
