Question

Elephants are like 20 times bigger...

Answer 1

Yeah, and as we all know from stepping on frogs and worms and snails those squishy things make you slip when you step on them...ok maybe not all of us but some of us know...

Answer 2

when mythbusters tested it, it seemed that the elephants weren't afraid OF the mice, but we afraid of hurting another creature.  it really appeared as though they were just trying to be courteous. weird huh?

Answer 3

Myth.  Elephants are not afraid of mice... though it does seem as if elephants are so intelligent that the try to mind their large mass and not step on the creatures.  (at least when those tiny creatures are brought to mind - in the wild, who knows if they would really notice a mouse)

Answer 4

Elephants are afraid of mice because they fear that the mouse will go up it's trunk.
