Elephants have wonderful memories - which is useful as they can liver for over 70 years. If an elephant is separated from a friend and they don't see each other for a number of years, when they do meat again they instantly recognize each other. There is evidence to suggest that they can even remember humans and bear grudges against people that have done them in the past. Elephants also feel sadness. If a friend or a member of their family dies, they actually show grief. It is thought that elephants can remember trauma from their childhoods right into their adult life that can affect their behavior and even turn them into hooligans.
