Some of you won't like it, others will...
"Lawrence Anthony, a legend in South Africa and author of 3 books
including the bestseller The Elephant Whisperer, bravely rescued
wildlife and rehabilitated elephants all over the globe from human
atrocities, including the courageous rescue of Baghdad Zoo animals
during US invasion in 2003. On March 7, 2012 Lawrence Anthony died.
He is remembered and missed by his wife, 2 sons, 2 grandsons &
numerous elephants.
Two days after his passing, the wild elephants showed up at his
home led by two large matriarchs. Separate wild herds arrived in
droves to say goodbye to their beloved man-friend. A total of 20
elephants had patiently walked over 12 miles to get to his South
African House
Witnessing this spectacle, humans were obviously in awe not only
because of the supreme intelligence and precise timing that these
elephants sensed about Lawrence's passing, but also because of the
profound memory and emotion the beloved animals evoked in such an
organized way: Walking slowly - for days - making their way in a
solemn one-by-one queue from their habitat to his house. Lawrence's
wife, Francoise, was especially touched, knowing that the elephants
had not been to his house prior to that day for well over a year!
But yet they knew where they were going. The elephants obviously
wanted to pay their deep respects, honoring their friend who'd saved
their lives - so much respect that they stayed for 2 days, 2 nights.
Then one morning, they left, making their long journey back home."

Actually I think the Bama mascots had been walking since just before
the regular season game with LSU last year but returned home in time
for the Championship game.
