HOW DID THEY KNOW?
SOMETHING IN THE UNIVERSE THAT IS MUCH GREATER
AND DEEPER THAN HUMAN INTELLIGENCE.
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 and 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 31 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 3
years! 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
without eating anything..
Then one morning, they left, making their
long journey back home............
