Elephants are believed to have some striking similarities to humans. And science says that just like humans, elephants also mourn their dead.
A heartbreaking video showing a herd of elephants weeping and mourning the death of a baby elephant is going viral on social media.
This will move you !! Funeral procession of the weeping elephants carrying dead body of the child elephant. The family just don’t want to leave the baby. pic.twitter.com/KO4s4wCpl0

The video which was first shared on Twitter by Parveen Kaswan, left people heartbroken and in tears.
This is in stark contrast to a bunch of so called human beings practicing their killing skills on a 2 year old girl.

I think it wanted to say something…
While the cause of the baby elephant’s death is unknown, this video has surely shed some light on the sensitive and emotional behaviour of elephants.
