Elephants are not all that different from our human species in the way they care and communicate with the other members of their herds. They have the capacity to feel emotion such as pain, jealousy, love, joy and rage. Some scientist have even noted that elephants are able to communicate telepathically. Wearing this animal charm as your totem might help you to communicate better with your family members.
Often known for their amazing strength elephants are also very graceful and able to walk silently through the jungle even thought they are the largest land mammals on earth. Strength and grace are two other characteristics attributed to this pachyderm.
Did you ever wonder why these great big, enormous animals are able to be held in one spot by just a small stake attached to their foot? When captive animals are very little their keepers will put steel shackle around their foot and attach it to a stake that they will drive into the ground. The little baby elephants aren't strong enough to pull the stake out and escape. For years this same process is repeated over and over so when they are finally large and strong enough to pull the stake out of the ground they are so conditioned that they aren't able to do it - that they don't think they can. So the old adage that "an elephant never forgets" is not too far from the truth. And the fact that they live up to 60 years - wow - that's a lot of memories. An elephant charm might be a great reminder of things you don't want to forget!
