Although they are strong and huge, elephants are not called gentle giants for nothing. These cute and funny jumbos are also exceptionally intelligent animals, capable of experiencing and understanding a wide range of emotions. Elephants are also known for their strong sense of community and family ties. So, of course, there is a lot to learn from them. Supriya Sahu, an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer who often shares beautiful wildlife videos, stressed the same and took to Twitter to post two adorable videos of elephants along with a sweet yet profound message. With the new year 2023 just days away, Ms. Sahu sought life lessons from elephants and listed five endearing things to prove her point.
She captioned the undated videos as, “New Year’s lessons to learn from elephants: 1. Heavyweight but don’t throw weight around, 2. Intelligent but not boastful, 3. Vigorous but subdued until provoked, 4. Roll in mud, take long baths, 5. Eat your heart out but take long walks @ParveenKaswan add more #New Years lessons”.

Indian forest ranger Parveen Kaswan also responded to the bureaucrat’s tweet, sharing a photo of a herd of elephants. “Family comes first. #NewYearsLessons,” Mr. Kaswan wrote.

The internet agreed with the agents wholeheartedly and showered love on the adorable creatures. Many also shared some more lessons learned from the jumbos. One user wrote: ”Great learning indeed! Would love to learn and apply in real life.” Another commented, “lots of veggies as part of the diet and not forever forgetting one’s past tracks/trails.” A third commented, “Always grounded and empathetic. ‘ ‘
A fourth added more points and wrote: ”Eat 150-200 kg of feed and the same amount of water/day 6. Mostly grazing in rainy season and leaves in summer 7. Plays a crucial role in forest biodiversity as a seed disperser of hardy tree species (mango, palm, bell, wood apple, etc.).” A fifth wrote: ”Thanks for this nice message Supriya. I send you and your loved ones happy new year wishes.”
