Sentient Elephant

Magnificent elephants are expressive creatures displaying joy, anger, grief, compassion and love. They've been observed displaying sheer happiness at family reunions. Matriarchal elephants protect their babies at all costs, even violently so. When walking over places where family members died many years prior, elephants remember and stay for a while, stroking the bones in mourning. Mother pachyderms faithfully safeguard the young, staying close by for decades. Elephants help sick ones by offering food and slowing down the herd's pace to allow an injured one keep up.
