Comprehension Passage

The elephant is very nervous, like almost all wild animals, and is easily startled by a sudden or unexpected noise. Instances are known where a man has been in great danger among a herd of wild elephants and has saved himself by suddenly clapping his hands, by which action the animals were so startled that the man was enabled to escape and hide himself during their fright. A strange object also alarms an elephant exceedingly, and will frequently disturb his calm mind.

All elephants have great dislike to little animals, or animals that are little in comparision with themselves. In hunting, the elephants like to avoid the dogs, and shows great uneasiness, if they hear the dogs following them. But nothing appears to discompose elephant more than being followed by a horse, especially if it is agoing at a quick pace. The clatter of the hoofs seems to alarm the elephants considerably even when they see the horse, but their fear is increased when the sound comes from behind them. There are some animals which the elephant cannot endure even when they are quiet. The tiger is one of these creatures; and there is a good reason for this dislike; but why elephants should refuse to approach a camel is not quite so clear. The elephant will travel in company with camels when they are laden, without exhibiting much dislike, but it does not like to come near a camel which has no burden.
