Unfortunately, elephants aren't as scared as mice as we've been lead to believe.

The reason that this could have come about is the fact the elephants tend to get nervous if they hear a sound but can't identify the source - such as a mouse scurrying around, which is common in zoo environments.

Rio - how interesting! We dont get many elephants wandering around here in Kent!!


I always thought the reason was they get startled by fast moving small objects - makes them uneasy.
