Elephant 'smoking' footage baffles experts
I don&#x27;t see much value in trying to use logical speculation to generalize such behaviors to an entire species.<p>Anybody who has observed animals and pets will have noticed how each and every animal has its own personality, likes, dislikes and peculiarities. Just like people, who, despite our airs, are just another species.<p>Some of my pets eat people food which my other pets don&#x27;t even look at. Some of them play with balls, while others don&#x27;t. On YouTube, I follow a cool guy who has a pure vegetarian pet cat getting along with many normal cats.<p>This particular elephant might have been simply curious about the smoke or might have been playing with it for the heck of it.<p>They are individual peculiarities and I don&#x27;t think any conclusion can be drawn about the entire species from them.
