The Elephant Whisperer

Lawrence Anthony is a conservationist and author. He was also known as “The Elephant Whisperer“. He passed away in March 2012. His family told about a solemn procession of elephants and that can’t be explained.

Two herds of South African wild elephants slowly marched their way through the Zululand bush to the house of Lawrence Anthony for around 12 hours. Lawrence rescued and rehabilitated these formerly violent, rogue elephants, destined to be euthanized.

They came near his home and stood around his house for two days in an apparent vigil and then they dispersed into the woods again. Lawrence’s son Dylan said, “They had not visited the house for a year and a half and it must have taken them about 12 hours to make the journey, The first herd arrived on Sunday and the second herd, a day later. They all hung around for about two days before making their way back into the bush.”

But the question is how did these elephants know that Lawrence passed away?

Rabbi Leila Gal Berner, Ph.D. said, ” A good man died suddenly, and from miles and miles away, two herds of elephants, sensing that they had lost a beloved human friend, moved in a solemn, almost ‘funeral’ procession to make a call on the bereaved family at the deceased man’s home.”

“If there ever were a time, when we can truly sense the wondrous interconnectedness of all beings, it is when we reflect on the elephants of Thula Thula. A man’s heart stops, and hundreds of elephants’ hearts are grieving. This man’s oh-so-abundantly loving heart offered to heal these elephants, and now, they came to pay loving homage to their friend.”
