These gentle giants prove that it's not just humans who mourn the passing of a dear friend.

An elephant herd at the Chobe National Park in Botswana carefully stood watch over their deceased comrade.

Tracking the Wild reports that the poor animal had to be euthanized by park rangers after breaking its leg. Its remains had apparently been ravaged by scavengers -- but its herd refused to abandon it.

One of the elephants even tenderly touched the deceased animal's body with its trunk.

This isn't the first time footage of grieving elephants has turned heads.

In 2016, footage of a blind elephant named Jokia grieving for her best friend of 17 years, Mae Perm, went viral.

"She stood over her for almost six hours, touching and nudging and leaning against the lifeless body of Mae Perm," Thailand's Elephant Nature Park wrote on Facebook.

It's clear from these incredible emotional gestures that these intelligent pachyderms love deeply.

Mr. Kohl- World hunger reached a 25-year low               In 2010, there were 821 malnourished people in the world. Today, however, there are now 795 million. Though that number is still devastatingly too high, the extreme drop of 26 million people no longer being starving provides hope, and proof we are moving in the right direction to correct the problem.
