BUD E, what have you got for us today? | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
Today's question comes from Sheila in Inchigeela. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
Is it true that elephants never forget? | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
Elephants have excellent memories. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
They have the largest brain of any land mammal. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
Why do they need big brains to stamp around eating grass? | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
Elephants live in large, well-structured, social herds | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
where the oldest female, the matriarch, is the leader. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
Like the president. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
It's her job to remember feeding grounds, sources of water... | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
Where she left the car, birthdays, when to put the bins out... | 0:05:43 | 0:05:48 | |
Professor, please! Elephants don't learn quickly, though. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
That's like me. In one ear, out the other. Look. Ha-ha-ha! | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
It's only through years of experience that they learn to be true leaders. | 0:05:56 | 0:06:01 | |
-So practice makes perfect, you know? -So there you go, Sheila. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
We can't say for sure elephants never forget, | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
but they do have incredible memories. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
As for the professor... | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
I'm just a load of old... Hang on, what's my line again? | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
I can't... Does anyone remember my line? Help, lads. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
Come here, someone. Give me a hand, will you? | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
Turning off all the lights. I can get this, I know I can get it. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:32 |
