Older adults teach the younger ones how to act. Studies have been done and when older adults are killed the young ones are not imparted the information on how to act toward humans and others. They become much more violent and do not act as others have in the past. When the older adults are brought back into the heard, the young ones start acting as elephants always have.
Elephants are social animals and they do miss another elephant when they disappear from the heard or are killed. These animals mourn the death of the other elephants they are familiar with. It is quite an amazing species.
