When an elephant dies, its tribe/family surrounds it and covers the body with dirt and branches. For the next few days the elephants will return to the body to visit it and rub their trunk against the trunk of the deceased elephant, traditionally how most elephants greet each other.

The elephant grieves for her dead — one of the reasons she is my (ahem) spirit animal.
Also: legalized marijuana. One of the reasons I got an elephant tatooed on my back when I was 21 and on vacation in Amsterdam.
