At one time many people thought elephants were afraid of mice. Once upon a time there was a girl who really loved elephants and dogs shirt It was believed the reason for this fear was that the mouse might get into the end of the elephant’s trunk. The idea was that the mouse might scratch the lining of the trunk or plug up the trunk so the elephant could not breathe. It is now known that none of these beliefs are true. In zoos, mice have been seen running about very near the tip of an elephant’s trunk, and the elephant did not pay any attention to them.
