• Elephants have one of the largest brains in the animal kingdom and are highly intelligent. They have excellent memories and it is true that “elephants never forget.” • Elephants have complex emotions and pronounced personalities; they are able to reason and act logically; they are social and gregarious; and they have complex social rules, discipline, and customs. They display loyalty to members of their herd, and have been known to rescue their human trainers from threats. They have also been known to have committed mercy killings when one of their herd is beyond recovering. • Elephants belong to the family Pachydermia, which comes from the Greek words meaning “thick-skinned.” Elephants do have thick skins, around 1.5 inches thick, but it’s very sensitive. In fact, elephants will leave very good habitat in order to find a location with fewer mosquitoes. • They do not have a layer of fat under the skin to protect them from the cold, and so they cannot tolerate temperatures below freezing. They also have no sweat glands, so they get rid of excess body heat by fanning their ears, spraying themselves with water, and rolling in the mud. (cont’d next page) Exit 91

“MY VICTORY WAS FINISHING MY EDUCATION.”
• In spite of their size, elephants can move almost without a sound, and can sprint at speeds up to 25 mph. However, since their legs aren’t built for jumping, a ditch too wide to step across can be an impenetrable barrier. • They have poor eyesight, and can’t see behind them unless they turn around. They are also unable to see directly below them so they use their trunks to locate obstacles that they must step over. • They are very good swimmers, and regulate their buoyancy in the water by swallowing air. A train of 79 elephants once crossed a tidal stretch of the Ganges River where they had to swim for six hours without touching the bottom. • Elephants are not clumsy. They can step on a coconut just hard enough to crack the shell without damaging the meat, and they can dig up sweet potatoes with their tusks without breaking the skin of the tuber. • The feet of an elephant have a combined surface area of 3.5 sq. ft., so that their weight is pretty evenly distributed and they hardly even leave any tracks. A lady’s stiletto heel has a greater pressure per square inch than an elephant’s foot. • The sleeping habits of a herd of 34 elephants in a zoo were studied. Every night, 29 of them would fall soundly asleep, snoring up a storm, while five others would remain on their feet in a light doze. After a few hours, several of the “sentries” would go to sleep after being replaced by a few of the elephants that had previously been sleeping. This changing of the guard went on every night. Elephants are some of the loudest snorers in the animal kingdom. Sleeping elephants will sometimes trumpet in their sleep, apparently dreaming of danger. (Continued next page)

STRANGE BUT TRUE
by Samantha Weaver ● In the 1830s you could give someone a blizzard. Back then, of course, the word wasn’t referring to a snowstorm; rather, that phrase meant to give someone a piece of one’s mind. ● Men certainly aren’t lacking in the self-confidence department. A survey found that 76 percent of men believe they are “somewhat” or “very attractive.” ● Farmers in California are responsible for 95 percent of broccoli production in the United States. Now we know whom to blame. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

As a new federal employee, I felt a combination of excitement and anxiety about meeting the strict standards of discretion and respect that our government imposes on its workers. Fearful of making a costly mistake, I decided to read up on procedures and standards on the federal Office of Personnel Management web page. I’m not sure if I was relieved or worried when I clicked on one page and found: "Ethics: Coming Soon!"

• The gestation period is longer for elephants than for any other animal, lasting between 18 and 23 months, depending on species. Other female elephants will assist a mother before and during the birth of her young, standing by to help and chasing off any predators that come into the area during the birth. • A newborn elephant weighs 200 to 300 pounds, and is covered with brown hair which slowly wears off during its lifetime. The young are not fully weaned until the age of five or six. Their milk tusks fall out at age two and are replaced by permanent tusks. Sexual maturity comes around 18 years of age, and they can live 60 years. • A female elephant usually breeds once every three years, so it is common for a female to have several children of various ages. They can bear up to 12 offspring in their lives. A mother elephant calls to her young by slapping her ears against her head. • Mother elephants have been seen carrying their dead children around in their tusks, and have been known to have scraped graves and buried their dead offspring. • Elephants spend about 16 hours a day eating, and can consume a quarter ton of food a day. They are strictly vegetarian. Their usual fare is grass, twigs, tubers, and fruits, but they are also fond of bamboo, berries, coconuts, corn, dates, plums, and sugar cane. • Elephants are social creatures. They sometimes “hug” by wrapping their trunks together in displays of greeting and affection. They have greeting ceremonies when a friend that has been away for some time returns to the group. If a baby elephant complains, the entire family will go over to touch and caress it. Elephants purr like cats do, as a means of communication. They also display signs of grief, joy, anger and play.

In some parts of Africa and India, the rock is colored red. This of course makes red dust and red mud. Elephants enjoy taking dust and mud baths to keep cool. The red dirt gives their skin a pink hue. Therefore, it IS possible to see pink elephants.

is what people are doing all across town
• Elephant ears can be five feet wide, which aids their hearing. They can hear sounds up to two miles away and can smell a human a mile away. They can even hear the rustle of a mouse. • An elephant’s size is its best defense. Only giraffes are taller than elephants, and only some whales are bigger. A healthy adult elephant fears no enemy in nature’s normal chain. Only the young, the old, and the infirm need to worry about lions and tigers. Healthy elephants are easily able to stand up to any attacking animal. • Their primary enemy is mankind. One elephant herd may claim a territory of up to 2,000 square miles. Humans have destroyed elephant’s natural habitat through settlements and farms. When elephants wander into farm fields and gardens that used to be their territory, local villagers attack and kill them. The demand for ivory has also been responsible for decimating their numbers. The number of African elephants declines by eight percent each year, due in large part to poaching for the sake of the ivory.

WHITE ELEPHANTS
The more people read Tidbits, the more people are looking at your ad. The more people who see your ad it will increase the chance to convert them to your clients.
• In Thailand and southeast Asia, elephants are considered to be sacred animals. White elephants are especially sacred. If a rich man knew someone he didn’t particularly like, he might purchase a white elephant and bestow it as a gift upon the person he didn’t like. The person who received the animal was honor-bound to take excellent care of the sacred white elephant for the rest of its life— and elephants live a very long time. That meant decades of feeding it a quarter-ton of food a day, and carrying off amazing amounts of manure. This was an expensive and time-consuming proposition. Today a “white elephant” gift is a gift we would be better off without. If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn’t sit for a month.

By now we know that exercise is good for us. It helps to postpone aging and keeps us healthier. Even knowing that, however, not all of us do what we should. Now there’s research reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that points fingers at who isn’t active. The study collected information from more than 300,000 adults over the age of 50. For the sake of definition, “inactivity” was not doing any activity outside of daily-living tasks. Here’s what we now know from the research: ● More than one-fourth of adults over age 50 don’t do any physical activity ... at all.

OCTOPUS
• The world “octopus” comes from the Greek, “octopus” meaning “eight foot.” • The plural form of “octopus” is “octopuses.” • Octopuses have three hearts: one to keep blood in circulation around the organs and the other two to move blood past the gills. The heart that pumps blood to the organs ceases its beating when the octopus swims, which is why an octopus will usually choose crawling over swimming, which is less exhausting. • Octopuses are cephalopods. Cephalopods are a class of mollusk that includes squids, cuttlefish, and nautilus. Cephalopod means “head-footed” because their arms protrude directly from their head. • Although it’s commonly thought that an octopus has eight tentacles, they are actually technically arms. Tentacles have suckers only near the ends, whereas arms have suckers their entire length. Tentacles are longer than arms. Octopuses have eight arms and no tentacles, while squid and cuttlefish have eight arms and two tentacles. Each octopus arm has up to 240 suckers. • When threatened, an octopus will squirt a cloud of ink to hide itself. The ink also causes blinding irritation to the eyes, as well as interfering with the sense of smell and taste. If an octopus does not escape its own cloud of ink, it can die. • The octopus is a master of camouflage and can change pigments in its skin to blend into the background within three-tenths of a second. • If a predator grabs an octopus by its arm, the octopus can disconnect the arm and get away. It can then re-grow the arm. When held captive under stressful or boring conditions, they have been known to eat their own arms. • Octopuses are invertabrates. Because they have no bones, they can squeeze through openings that are surprisingly small. The only hard structure on their body is their beak, which looks much like the beak of a parrot. They can change their body shape to mimic other animals. They use their bodies like bellows, taking in and releasing jets of water to propel them forward quickly. • They are one of the few animals that have been observed using tools, such as carrying around a coconut shell to hide in. • There are about 200 species of octopus. Those that live in cold water climates are larger than those in warm water environments. • The largest types of octopus can grow to about 4.3 feet in length and weigh up to 22 pounds. • All members of the octopus family have venom, but the most harmful is the venom of the tiny blue-ringed octopus of Australia. Although it’s only 5 to 8 inches in size, a single blue-ringed octopus carries enough venom to kill up to 26 adult humans. Their bites are often nearly painless so some victims may not realize they’ve been bitten until paralysis and respiratory distress set in. If the victim receives speedy medical care including artificial respiration, the bite is survivable, but there is no known antivenom. Victims who survive the first 24 hours usually recover completely, but without artificial respiration or a ventilator, there is virtually no chance of surviving the bite. The toxin is nearly identical to the venom found in pufferfish and poison dart frogs, and it’s 1,200 times more toxic than cyanide. • Octopuses are very smart and able to solve problems. Researchers at the Seattle Aquarium put a favorite octopus snack inside a child-proof pill container. The resident octopus had the container open within five minutes.
