Did elephant cemeteries really exist?
Was there really places with tons of bones and ivory tusks where old elephants went to die or was that just a myth told by Africans to naive European explorers?
Elephant graveyards are a myth. Old elephants do not go to a special place to die.
However, elephant skeletons are occasionally found in groups near sources of water because malnourished elephants instinctively seek out such places to improve their condition. Those that fail to do so become comatose and die. In this way, elephants skeletons can accumulate very close to each other.
