Elephants are known to be the largest animal on land. And mice are comparatively very very small. So...what do you say ..Are elephants afraid of mice....???. We have heard many jokes on this topic and my most favorite is..
As my grandmother does not like mice in her trunks..
same is the case for elephants...ha ha ha...
Actually it was believed that elephants are scared of mice, because they might enter the trunk of the elephant and would harm it, due to which the elephant wont be able to breathe, which in turn may cause death of the elephant.
On the other hand, Elephants have a very keen sense of smell, to warn them of danger. They can smell the mice about near the tips of their trunks, even if they cannot see it. And suppose if, the mouse succeeds in entering the trunk, the elephant can get rid off it just by a snort or blowing out a little air.
But at the same time we cannot deny the fact shown on episode of Mythbusters. Wherein, they have experimented and concluded that elephants are actually scared of mice.....
Have a look at the video.
