"Elephant Soccer" This sentence is more interpreted as a figure of speech, in order to illustrate how "chaotic" a soccer match is in the PSSI environment. But if you are a tourist and have visited Lampung Province, the term "elephant soccer" is certainly in the real sense. He is no longer just a satire, but something real where you can see a group of elephants playing football. And that attraction is probably second to none, except that it can only be enjoyed at the Elephant Kurtas Training Center, East Lampung Regency Lampung, Indonesia.
Elephants are herbivorous animals that can be found in various habitats, such as savannas, forests, deserts, and swamps. They tend to be near water. Elephants are considered a key species because of their impact on the environment. Other animals tend to keep their distance from elephants, and predators such as lions, tigers. hyenas, and wild dogs usually only attack young elephants. Female elephants tend to live in family groups, which consist of one female with her children or several females who relate to their children. This group is led by an individual elephant called a matriarch, who is usually the oldest female. Elephants have a fission-fission group structure, that is when family groups meet to socialize. Male elephants leave their family groups when they reach puberty, and will stay alone or with other males. Adult males usually interact with family groups while looking for partners and enter a stage of increased testosterone and aggression called musth, which helps them achieve dominance and reproductive success. Elephant children are the focus of family groups and depend on their parents for approximately three years. Elephants can live for 70 years in the wild. They communicate through touch, sight, smell, and sound; elephants use infrasuara and remote seismic communication. The intelligence of elephants has been compared to the intelligence of primates and cetaceans. They seem to have self-awareness and show empathy for other elephants who are near or dead. id.wikipedia.org
Elephants are also able to do: counting, drawing, acting and also being able to play ball with humans.
This is an amazing performance, have you ever thought about this animal? I'm sure you also know about this, right?
Uniquely in Thailand, Elephants play soccer during anti-gambling campaigns for school children in Ayutthaya. They also enlivened the 2018 World Cup welcome by playing a soccer match to raise awareness of illegal gambling.
