AI Overview



TIL When the Elephant Whisperer Lawrence Anthony died ...
Two herds of elephants traveled for 12 hours to the house of conservationist Lawrence Anthony after his death in 2012, remaining in a solemn, silent vigil for two days. They had not visited his home in a year and a half, leading his family to believe they sensed his death and were mourning the "Elephant Whisperer," the man who saved them.
  • The Journey: Two herds of elephants, which had been grazing in different parts of the Thula Thula game reserve in South Africa, began a 12-hour march to Anthony's home shortly after his death on March 7, 2012.

  • The Vigil: The elephants arrived at the house and remained there silently for two days, appearing to pay their respects.

  • The Connection: Lawrence Anthony was a conservationist who had rescued and rehabilitated the formerly violent elephants, and they had a unique bond. His family stated that the elephants had not visited the house in a year and a half, so their arrival on the day of his death was a remarkable coincidence.

  • A Recurring Tribute: For several years after his death, the elephants returned to his house on the anniversary of his death, March 7th, in a silent, solemn procession.
