Why does elephants are scared of mice?

Question

Why does elephants are scared of mice?

Answer 1

Nobody knows, but it seems they like to keep their distance from mice.  I don't know whether they think the mouse might get on them, or they just don't want to step on the little animal.

Answer 2

that is  a huge myth.  It is not true

Answer 3

They aren't. You been watching too many Disney movies.

Answer 4

An observed incident of elephants backing off when they confront a mouse likely led to the belief that they are afraid.  An experiment by the TV show Myth-busters with mice and wild elephants showed that it was not fear but avoidance at stepping on that gives the impression of fear.  Apparently people never gave a thought to one animal caring enough about another animal not to step upon it.  We should take a lesson from the elephants.  I don't like the idea that elephants are more caring than humans about other species of life.

Answer 5

That's a myth!

It's not the least bit true at all.
