A VERY INTERESTING STORY!
I truly love this story and it will surely bring a tear to your eye!!
I know it did mine.
In 1986, Mkele Mbembe was on holiday in Kenya after graduating
from Northwestern University. On a hike through the bush, he
came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the
air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Mbembe approached it
very carefully. He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's
foot and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As
carefully and as gently as he could, Mbembe worked the wood out with
his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its
foot. The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious
look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments.
Mbembe stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled.
Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away.
Mbembe never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.
Twenty years later, Mbembe was walking through the Chicago Zoo with
his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of
the creatures turned and walked over to near where Mbembe and his son
Tapu were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Mbembe, lifted
its front foot off t he ground, then put it down. The elephant did
that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at
the man. Remembering the encounter in 1986, Mbembe couldn't help
wondering if this was the same elephant. Mbembe summoned up his
courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the
enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in
wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one
of Mbembe's legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him
instantly.
Probably wasn't the same elephant.

What the hell is it with going to snopes for basic jokes?

In a refuge for orphaned elephants, the trainers, when a new elephant comes in, will exhale into the elephants trunk.
the elephant will never forget your scent for as long as it lives.

"Well it works for me." says the fitness guru..."I'm down to two butts a day."

A zoo security guard takes his girlfriend to to the San Diego zoo after the park has closed to see the gorilla cages where he works. They've come from a party and have had more than a few drinks. The woman was wearing a halter top and tight-fitting jeans, and the gorilla appeared to notice her ample cleavage and shapely figure
"hey, looks like you got a new friend," the man says.
the woman, now noticing the attention, does a little spin in front of the cage, making the gorilla pound his chest and climb the trees in his paddock.
the man, laughing, encourages her to do more, and she giggles, looks around, and pulls down her halter top, giving a quick flash.
The gorilla, now fully engaged, is jumping around, running around in circles, climbing the bars, and rattling the cages. In the ape's excitement, the man notices that the cage latch has slightly opened. The woman continues to spin, dance, turn her back to the cage, and spank herself, all the while laughing at the gorilla, who is now beside himself in excitement.
As she dances closer to the door, the man swiftly opens the latch, pushes her inside, shuts the door behind her, and latches the cage door.
"Honey?!?! What are you doing?!?!" the woman screamed.
The man, still laughing, points at the gorilla and says.
Now, try telling HIM you've got a headache."
