maybe elephants don't afraid of mice, but rather elephants care enough to not step on mice

Ithinking it's more that the mouse is white... pretty sure there isn't tons of lab mice where elephants are.

It's possible that the elephants are cautious of the mythbusters nearby with their mouse placed right there to scare them.

hey I'm afraid of rats too. I had one crap on my hand. Small creatures are capable of a lot of annoyance.

Do elephants afraid of mice? wtf?

i dont know why ppl are saying it wasnt startled. it didnt freak out, but it definitely avoided the mouse, not just avoid walking on it, but stopped completely(the first time), and walked away. the second time, almost stopped, but walked over like 2 body lengths to avoid it. very interesting. they're so cute :P

A simple test would be to test it with other small critters that have no hope of harming an elephant. Hedgehog, lizard, gopher, whatever. There seems to be a general happy genetic predisposition in most animals to avoid messing with other critters that aren't doing them any harm. Elephants are highly intelligent, it's not greatly surprising that they would be aware that they can crush other animals easily and avoid it.
