WATCH: Amazing Footage Shows How Elephants in Israel React to Air Raid Sirens

Teresa Neumann : Jul 14, 2014  Ari Soffer – Israel National News

"It's as if in a time of crisis... It's like neighbors in the same building; everyone gets together in the bomb shelter even if they are not best friends. Something unites during difficult times." -Sagit Horovitz, Zookeeper

According to a report published in Israel National News, a remarkable video from the Safari zoo in the city of Ramat Gan, which borders Tel Aviv, shows how elephants have been responding. In essence, as soon as the sirens go off, adult elephants can be seen rushing to form a protective circle around their young.

Said zookeeper Sagit Horovitz, "First of all, they sensed something they are not familiar with—a noise they do not usually hear... and then they hear the very loud 'boom'... Their instinct is to come together and protect the herd. What was beautiful to see was that this was done without any regard for 'social status' within the group.

"The most heartwarming aspect of it was that they gathered together in a way that specifically protects the calves. Of course, they don't actually understand what is going on, but they know something not quite right is happening and their instinct is to gather together and protect each other, and more than anything, to protect their children."
