Good thing these gentle giants are afraid of small things, these guys are absolutely massive! I always wondered about that since first watching Dumbo as a child, why would they be afraid of mice. I think that it is simply because they are very gentle and caring animals and are afraid to squish anything. They have poor eye-sight and operate and identify mainly through smell. They have poor digestive systems and therefore eat enormous quantities of food, a baby Ellie that they had rescued from Zimbabwe was drinking about a 100 liters of milk a day, the sanctuary said that it had practically gone bankrupt just from the expense.
