On the show "Mythbusters", they did an experiment that seemed to indicate that elephants have an adverse reaction to mice. They put a live mouse in a hollowed out elephant dropping. When an elephant walked by, they pulled a string and let the mouse out. Two elephants seemed startled on distinct trials, (they only tried it with the mouse twice, so that's 100%). And there was no reaction when they moved the device without a mouse in it. I know its not a truly scientific experiment, not a big enough sample, etc. But why do you think the elephants would react to a mouse like that?
