Elephant Behavior and Decision-Making

In the wild, African elephants are accustomed to open spaces and are constantly on the move. However, confined spaces like metal boxes are unfamiliar to them. The elephants at Lilayi are hesitant to enter a truck due to past experiences, as it was associated with the disappearance of their friends. Despite attempts to lure them, only the youngest elephant, Muchichili, shows the courage to enter, driven by food motivation.
