4. Rogue elephants are like rebellious teenagers Elephants are social creatures with defined roles for everyone in the herd. The herd is matriarchal, dominated by mothers and aunties. When the male babies grow to adolescence, they are kicked out of the herd, leaving their sisters and mother behind.We saw several of these lonely guys roaming around in the African bush today. They form bachelor herds that hang out together http://www.sethbarnes.com/?filename=rogue-elephant-like-rebellious-teenagers Rogue elephants are like rebellious teenagers One creative solution for a bachelor herd that has been corrupted by a rogue is to bus in an elephant mother. Inevitably, the mother reestablishes order in the herd. (Is it not like the teenagers we see hanging out in herds that roam out beaches, malls and make lots of noise under the pretext of fun etc or sneer at their elders if some one controls them. It looks like that a good solution is to appoint few mothers there to hag out together and reestablish order.
