- Many Kaimerans speak of elephant-men in their myths and folklore. These legends have long been noted for their consistency across cultures. In the 1900's, Assembly agents stumbled upon the truth behind the myth: the Khorikoim, or Manephaunt, Elephant-Folk of the Hidden Islands.
Songs of the Inland Sea is the sequel to Tales of Kaimere! It is a nautical anthology, with all six short stories and novellas taking place in aquatic settings. There are heists on a ship, a desperate chase through a marsh, and a survival story from the perspective of a killer whale!

I, for one, welcome our future elephant overlords
Yes hail our packaderm overlords
All hail the oliphants,and may they cast down the qajarith imperialist.
@@shingtiong9425 yes hail hail hail hail our elephant rulers
Cant be possibly as bad as our governments on earth rn lol
Yes! I love it in fantasy when a sapient species isn't necessarily humanoid, great work as always.
Assembly researcher: _Bends down to pet the little Manephaunt_
Manephaunt: "I *will* shank you with my tusks, impudent human!" _said in impotent elephant rage_
The "First Contact" black-and-white picture is truly one of the best scene/sequence depiction you gived to us since a very long time and ones of these that truly give a feeling and vibe of Fantastic, Fantasy, Adventure, Mystery, of Odd/Weird and even of Surnatural that we expect from a Heroic-Fantasy world like Kaimere is suposed to be !
(It's also remind me some very light vibes from "Dinotopia" franchise, by coincidance, I don't now why, but I like this franchise too and it's also a beloved one).
Thank you! That one took several hours to put together but I am quite happy with the result.
@@TalesofKaimere The colozired version still very good too ! And even better to show the diversity of coloration this species can display in fur and armors on them !
Elephants of Kaimere has quickly become one of my favorite worldbuilding topics. Keep them up, and of course I'm excited to see what else you show us about the rest of the world!
Thank you! Has been a highly rewarding series and fun to work on!
@@TalesofKaimerethank you for your hard work, I really appreciate it. ☺️😊😄😃🤩😍 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Parting is such sweet sorrow, this was such a fantastic series to watch from beginning to end! I'm glad Elephants got their time to shine again on Kaimere!
Absolutely! Working on this series was a blast
Compared to what details were revealed about the Chuga years ago, learning so much more about the Manephaunt is an absolute treat! This whole series has been my favorite project on TH-cam in the past month and a half, and the more you reveal, the more I can’t wait to read from the perspective of that upcoming Manephaunt protagonist!!! This is a video I know I’ll be coming back to frequently in the foreseeable future!
Thank you, Keenan, for the gift of tiny elephant people, and for every other Elephants of Kaimere video!!! So glad you got to add so much life to this amazing roster of pachyderms!
Thank you so much!!
These guys are so cool!
Sapient races are surprisingly fun to design.
Thanks! They sure are fun to work on. In hindsight I wish I’d emphasized more that convergence on human anatomy does make sense if you’re designing sophonts you want to use tools like us.
@@TalesofKaimere
No problem!
Now this is one of the best speculative intelligent lifeforms ever created! Elephants are quite intelligent and emotional, and this really shows how far that big brain can go. It's Elephantastic!
Thank you! They did seem quite well-suited for the task!
And I see you fixed your mic a bit.
@@sivanlevi3867 Just went back to my old computer. At some point I'll try to figure out if this new computer's mic can be salvaged or if I just need to invest in an external, but I simply don't have the time or energy to invest at the moment
I didn't expect elephant civilization in kaimere
Also for a culture which doesn't care about visual beauty they sure do look stunning
They don’t much care for visual aesthetics but recognize that it can be quite intimidating
@@TalesofKaimere I guess intimidated by their style
Many poiseness animals are brightly coloured
Grassland Oliphaunts aren't complitly extinct?! :O Also great episode, as well as this whole series about elephants
What an episode to end an amazing series which is spectacular to say the very least!
So, this month will have the sapient and sophant beings of kaimere? This is bigger than... Well, hope to see something from Kairul tbh...
An elephant society that communicates through scent is such a neat idea! I love it!
Thank you!
we shall cherish the Elephant-Folk
I find cool and interesting that some members of their species, at least from Skiru's tribe and from the 7 tribes living on the islands in which the First Contact was made, integrate the Assembly and became permanent active members of it !
To made important communication with the Assembly and Kaimeran and to be representatives of their species to maintain a good relationship, positive and benefical trades exchanges and put in place good measures to avoid all possible problems in both sides.
And to know, learn and discover rver what occured in everything everywhere in the rest of the world (at least every of it that the Assembly and Kaimeran know from) to be up-to-date with the Modern Times and news.
In order to be prepared and adaptable in case something negative could happen one of these days.
Being in complete isolation for so long, something that will continue at least dor some time, the Chugas know that if what they do since so numerous millenials is currently good for them and that they live a peacefull existence thank to that, they also obviousely know too that it isn't good to be ignorant and unware to what happen beyond the horizon of heir own home.
They obviousely know also that anything is eternal and that one day, they will be forced to reveal themselves to the rest of the world and integrate again the common society.
Anything forced them to do that now, of course, but it's an evidence that the wisest must econized.
This is what it's always still a good opportunity and thing to take advantage of such contacts with the Assembly to now a maximum of things on the remaining world to justly be good when the Big Day will come.
But thankfully, this day isn't for tommorow or a near future, so they can remain for now calm and still profit from their current peacefull life.
Unrelatted, but that must be weird and funny for a Assembly member to have as colleague a tiny speaking elephant XD.
In one of the few contact the Assembly have every few times per years with the Chugas, I can see completely one of them saying to a Assembly naturalist member :
- Chuga contact : "Hey, Frank ! Happy to see you again ! How is your wife doing ?
- Assembly member : "Bof, she do well, not extraordinary to said, and your sister ? Alway sick ?
- Chuga contact : "No more, she still have some issues, but overall, it's better since last time !"
Fascinating! I love the small sapient elephants. This is VERY creative. in spite of all the dinosaurs, elephants and their relatives might have gotten a better deal on Kaimere than in our own world.
Thank you! Yes they definitely made the most of a dangerous situation. Until quite recently there were more elephants on Earth than on Kaimere despite Kaimere having more species, but in general they do seem to be doing quite a bit better
That was really a very good and perfect conclusion/finale to this mini-series !
It's was enjoyable from A to Z, from the first video, by depicting all the families, their history and places on Kaimere, and how they do in Modern Times and their relationship with Kaimeran and the Assembly !
Hope that we will get one day another similar mini-series on a another topic as interesting that the ones of Elephants !
It gives me goosebumps thinking of the many other sophont species on Kaimere!
This was a nice episode. Glad to see that the Grassland Oliphants are doing well, and nice to see our look to our future elephant overlords. (Last part was a joke, but they still look nice.)
However, there are a couple of questions I did have relating to and unrelated to the episode:
1) How do Koga and the Grassland Oliphants fight off Bokodu? (Especially given that all three likely share the same center of gravity, unlike in the fights between the proboscideans and the Uktan, where the proboscideans have the advantage due to being quadrapedal.)
2) Have there ever been attempts to bring Highland Mammoths or Drenduga to Kaishel or Pakardia? (I would imagine they could do well in either region, but would mainly struggle against either region's top predators.)
3) Speaking of Kaishel, what is the average temperature of the region, especially given how Kaimere is said to be warmer than Earth? (Also, with the new visits beyond the known world, does that mean the Kaishel video would eventually be redone and updated? (Especially given how the info on all Kaimeran proboscideans just were?))
4) Finally, given how you seemed to be struggling with adding Aurochs to the setting of Kaimere, why not do this: The faunal turnover of 100,000 years ago primarily from leopards triggers a localized harvest from Southern Russia and extends to Japan, bringing animals which mainly integrated and hybridized with local fauna, but leaving some descendants such as Aurochs? (Just a suggestion, but hope it helps.)
This was a nice series, and has definitely been one of my favorites. Elephants have always been my favorite since I was little, and it was nice to see them do well despite the challenges of a dinosaur-filled world. Thanks for this series, and see you in the next video.
Thank you!
1. Lunar oliphaunt definitely do better against bokodu than koga. Their long tusks are better for fending off a single point of attack. All three are prey and sometimes lose to an uktan given the theropods far superior endurance and respiration, but bokodu are known to avoid oliphaunt herds unless truly desperate.
2. Neither habitat has enough grass to sustain a mammoth population. Unlike Palaeoloxodon, Kaimeran mammoths are very specialized in diet.
3. It’s mostly comparable to places like Japan and southern Canada, with some areas being cold enough for regular ice caps. There’s only a couple things I’d need to change about the old video (a very important sauropod paper came out like a week after the episode that necessitates changes to the sauropod there) but for the most part it’s solid as an overview. Obviously plenty more to unpack though!
4. I’d much rather cut the aurochs than add a new harvest, since there are already so many in recent history, but there are actually a couple opportunities for them to come through. Once I get a sponsor for a bovid episode I’ll iron out details but for the time being I’m just putting a pin in that and noting that it will be present in some capacity to be clarified when I have time.
Thanks again! I love elephants so much and this was such a treat to be able to really focus on them. So often I have to take an overview approach simply by virtue of limited time and budget but this was really cool to properly explore. Even so there’s still so much to discuss for the sophont episode and other future elephant works! Part of what I love about this project. Cheers!
@@TalesofKaimere You already integrated the Auroch, which is well present in Modern Kaimere !
You call it under the vernacular name of "Wild Bull", and is present on Arvel, the forested areas of southern Ni'Khar and a little population in Qajar.
And being one of the 4-5 large bovid species inside the Known World.
You did alos a hybrid character between a bull auroch and a domestic cattle who is the companion of a male mercenarie witch character !
To quote Ludwig Von Drake, "Look out, it's those elephants!
I absolutely adore elephants and this species is so cool!! Kaimere itself is so diverse and this is by far one the coolest projects I’ve ever seen!!
Thank you!
I loved this one in particular, hope to learn more about their culture, past and what they share their habitat with.
Absolutely. This only scratches the surface!
Oh joy! My own spec-fantasy project also has sophont dwarf elephants, who are called “Erepato” by the neighbouring Empire of Apes. Erepato are not island dwellers, but deep rainforest specialists, and because of that they are more tall, lanky and cursorial than Manephaunts. They have dusty-brown skin with very subtle shadowy spots and patterns and a hairy mane on their backs. Their trunks have 3 “fingers” for fine manipulation, and their tusks strongly curve upwards to aid with carrying piles of sticks.
Erepato are excellent jungle pathfinders with their superb senses of smell and hearing, and Imperial Apes often hire Erepato as guides through wilderness in exchange for imperial goods.
Erepato males experience musth, and matriarchs and queens use this to make berserker squads out of raging males that seek glory. The neighbours of Erepato know the ferocity of tusked berserkers who spin loud bull-roarers with their trunks as they charge. The males that don’t want to risk their lives during musth usually engage in competitive sports or sedate themselves with smoking large amounts of calming herbs and weed. It is a common sight to see and old male smoking away at a fat pipe all day.
Dwarf-proboscidean sophonts are cool and It was really great to learn about Manephaunts. The head-shields are especially cool.
What the name of your spec-fanasy world ?
What is his nature ?
A seed world too ?
@@dudotolivier6363 My world is called Ekara. It is a sort of alternate Earth with evolution that roughly mirrors our own world but with some twists and turns. But the geography and cosmology is vastly different. For example, Ekara is located in a binary star system, where the second sun mysteriously radiates magic particles. The non-avian dinosaurs survived on the southern continents, while cenozoic mammals developed in the northern hemisphere. Magic compels organisms to develop large brains, so Ekara is full of sapient animals with material culture. That includes everything ranging from humans, savanna elves and nomadic sentient oviraptorids to intelligent crab-like arthropods from the southern islands and magic larvae that use walking trees as biological mecha.
I am an evolutionary biologist, and my dream is to create a world that marries magic fantasy with real biology and speculative evolution. I even work on a TTRPG set in my world. Who wouldn’t want to play as a corvid mind wizard or tundra neanderthal pachyrhynosaurus rider?
This is definitely one of my favourite episodes so far! I too love elephants and related proboscideans for their unique anatomy and high intelligence. Learning about the manephaunts' culture was highly inspiring and fascinating! I love their ceratopsian head crests and can't wait to (hopefully) see more tools in the "Convergent Minds" episode!
Now the question is on what the world be like without elephant’s
Also I don’t know how you work with suggestions but it would be really cool if you could give us a short video just about the Dinosaurs and other creatures of Kaimere before the
mass extinction
At this point all of my episodes are sponsored and sponsors pick the topics, but I do hope to do some more community-prompted topics down the road!
A fantastic series from start to finish, love every minute of it!
Thanks so much!
The council will decide your fate. 6:30
I love the idea of a group of sapient nonhumanoid elephants knocking about, that's great. I also love the art for this series.
Thank you! Glad you enjoy it!
Elephants are my favourite animal and you posted this on my birthday, if I was 25 years younger, I'd be overjoyed
That’s it! I’m moving to one of these elephant islands, and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop me!
This series has been truly phenomenal and i cannot wait to see what you do next!
Thank you!!
Great videos man, your super creative keep going
Thank you!
Neat Sapiens Species between myth, reality and understanding interaction too!!🐘❤👍
Mmm, yes. I love non-humanoid sophonts in fantasy settings! Can't wait to see the dinosauroids and notzukideu if we get a second look at them. By the way, I remember you once mentioning the possibility of making a tabletop rpg based on kaimere, or maybe it was a 5e campaign setting, I'm not sure. If you were to take that challenge on, how would you handle the possibility of these sophonts as playable characters?
It’s still a project I want to do, but would be a big undertaking and I want to develop and finalize more of the known word first. All sophont species will be playable.
@@TalesofKaimere I actually was inspired by this to make a bunch of homebrew stuff for 5e based on Kaimere (giving you proper credit of course). I’m working on the manephaunts atm, I was just so inspired I had to jump on it! That said, I would love a more official Tales of Kaimere 5e campaign setting or even a unique table top rpg! Honestly, I’d love the later, we need more unique games out there
Way ahead of you ;)
Glorious! An absolutely fantastic race you've created! Honestly, once I've got my current creatures done. I'm going to have a lot of fun crafting all of your proboscideans into figurines!
Thoroughly awesome
Thank you!
Fascinating lore, loving it. And I found of elephants. Keep it up.
Quick questions:
1) are even the sophont chuga can turn aggressive when they going in musth? Or they develope an adaptation for take overcontorl of this condition?
2) are the musth developed in the last common ancestor of al proboscidean? Or this condition are developed independently among different families?
3) which animals live in these islands alonside the chuga?
4) since the chuga is omnivorous, they can even occasionally eat meat?
1. They do have hormonal spikes but it’s mild compared to elephants of Earth.
2. I wasn’t able to find any literature on when musth evolved so I can’t answer that.
3. I’m not yet ready to go public with the list. Still a few things to finalize.
4. Nah their omnivory is limited to insects and some crustaceans/mollusks and even that is only a tiny portion of their diet
We’ve got sapient cetaceans, proboscideans, pterosaurs, it’s like a spec evo hog heaven!!! Can’t wait for the convergent minds episode!!!!
These are so cool. I was wondering if there would be other sapient species on your world and how different biology could affect how the culture developed. You have left me with one question. Has a dragon focused episode been sponsored? I loved their depiction in the Permian island episode and would love more. Ps huge Anne McCaffrey fan so.....
We do not yet have a dragon sponsor! I would absolutely love to explore them more.
Interesting, and very noice.
One question - in some of the panels the manephaunts were mentioned to have ships, but in your voiceover you said they got around by swimming. I'm curious to see what sort of 'ship' a tiny elephant would build.
You went full Dinotopia. I love it.
I have the same vibe when I see the "Firsr Contact" picture !

The perfect thing to watch on my birthday! A wonderful series this was, Keenan!
Thanks and happy birthday!
@@TalesofKaimere Thank you!
I wonder if any of these manophants would be interested in partnering for a deodorant, scented soap, or candle business. Like I understand the need for secrecy but with their olfactory talents I can really see such a venture going places
one episode of has made me as giddy as this one. I love these guys and gals. Thank you for this episode 👏
PS. They somewhat remind me of the spiders in Children of time, something more stories/projects should do often.
Thank you! I haven’t read that one but have heard very good things
Interesting series on proboscideans: the versatile jacks of Kaimere.
this world just got weirder! keep up the great work!
Thanks!
this was delighful , thank you ...
You’re most welcome and thanks to you!
Despite that, inside this universe, their islands archipelago is keep secret by the Assembly toward everyone, we, us, watchers, known the precision location of it thank to the original Chuga slide, shown in this video near the end.
At 23:06.
On the map, their archipelago is at the furthest northeast of the Known World territories (just at the side of the compasses logo), so near to the known world borders, where almost anybody travel with ships here.
That is not, in fact, where the island is. That’s where it was assumed to be based on Chuga myths. The real location is, as stated in the episode, in a temperate zone.
@@TalesofKaimere Oh ! So that is an important and interesting information to take into account !
THank for this precisions :)
I love the extremely ceratopsian headdresses of the manephaunt leaders
Awesome Work!👏🌟
Thank you!!!
Phenomenal episode 😍😍😍
Thank you!
Fantastic video mate!!!!
Thanks!!
I remember of the older chuga, glad they got more development.
Indeed! Old one was very early concept. Still a lot to develop with these guys but they’re much further along!
Older Chuga?
@@dubuyajay9964 There was a earlier Keenan vídeo that mentioned the Chuga
The Kinderphaunt looks so cute... 😢
Thank you! He's just a little guy
@@TalesofKaimere The RL elephant twins in those candid photos are very cute as well...
@@TedShatner10 Oh they're adorable and extremely playful!
Great job! Hope to see other sophont species such as the Notzokideu get their own videos someday!
I wish Kaimere actually existed and we could meet all this great Fauna.
Very cool 👍
Thanks!!
Good stuff man. Been speedrunning this channel since I found out of the sophont animal episode. This gave a nice taste of what's to come. The culture you designed is interesting, though I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of a scent based language. The warriors gave me a question that's now lingering in my head though, and that's how would one design a gun to be shot by these beings?
This has to be one the coolest spec evo creatures
Thank you!
Amazing work!
Thank you!
I like the fact that their home is an entire archipelago, composed by several islands, and that each islands have several tribes of this species.
And that their species number is high enough to made them in a minor preoccupation LC level !
And that despite being a insular species.
(40 000 to 100 000 approximative specimens is a very high number, enough to keep stable and with a reasonable genetic diversity a species).
They still vulnerable to be discovered by others Kaimeran that aren't part of the Kentarim or the Assembly, but the risk is quite low since the Assembly discover them by complete accident.
But they aren't truly endangered by something currently speaking.
Of course, many members from a tribe must join in their life other tribe, since every tribs of each islands must maintain a certain level of contact/communication, and a relative peacefull relationship toward each others, allowing the geentic diversity to be stable !
The wee folk!! Wonder what's next!?
Next is the Jurassic Islands!
I’m noticing a theme in Kaimeran history and anthropology, that being the sheer amount of importance, and almost sanctity that treaties and agreements have. Unlike in our world, agreements between parties seem to be taken very seriously. Is there a cultural taboo against breaking agreements?
There absolutely is in Pakardiant and Khalin cultures especially, though everyone does take them quite seriously. Honoring agreements and honor in general is paramount to the Telmede.
would love to see stories of interactions between these elephant folk and humans while out on a collaborative expedition of some kind
That’s the plan!
You know something I never really thought about, are there Ceratopsians on the islands they live on?
Because their armor reminds me of their defensive frills.
wouldn’t be the first time there were other surviving ceratopsians outside the known world, like the Elk Drake in Kairul, last of the Chasmosaurine Ceratopsians (or at least to my knowledge anyway)
bravo keenan bravo
Thank you!
Love it
Thanks man!
This is a Great and interesting video about the Pygmy Elephants. So what are you gonna do next?
Next up is Jurassic Islands!
@@TalesofKaimere Wait your serious? Like your actually gonna do it next week?! 😲
@@taylorlynch7410 Yup! Set for release on Sunday to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Jurassic Park!
@@TalesofKaimere Awesome! 👍👍
So there are elephant folk and they seem quite friendly for the most part.
I do wonder if the first children ever made a race of gaints with sauropod and elephant or manephaunt traits. The combination of size, intelligence, and acoustic and olfactory characteristics would make them very good commanders, guardians, sentinels, or chroniclers.
nice work
Certified 🐘 Classic
How it feel after i leaked the location of the Khorikoim Island:
THERE AN STARMANNNNNN WAITTINGGGG IN THE SKYYYYYYYYYY
Did the great spirits such as the trickster indrikai develop as a result of human/sentient interaction and breeding of magic or were such magical entities present deep into the prehistory of kaimere?
Any chance for a mammoth story?
What would be the reaction of a Khorikoim if he saw another species of elephant or similar?
How do grassland oliphaunts directly interact with koga?
what other kinds of animals do the live Manephaunts live alongside in their homeland?
How would they react if they saw other proboscidea, including their closest relatives, the Lunar Oliphaunt? Would they find it weird in the same way we would if we saw a neanderthal?
Would it be possible for them to communicate with other proboscids?
Are the chuga aware of their giant cousins? Has any contact been made and if so, what do they think of each other?
They are aware of them and while they spoke of their mainland cousins with reverence the Assembly doesn’t know the extent of the knowledge and any potential relationship
@@TalesofKaimere Is this referring to Known World proboscideans or ones outside the Known World or both?
These are great! Are they aware of other species of proboscideans? If so, what is their opinion on them?
They are aware but didn’t give much info to the Assembly aside from a sense of reverence when talking about the mainland giants
@@TalesofKaimere
Interesting. Hoping to maybe learn more about it this topic in the planed short story.
Good video! But how do Khorikoim manipulate objects using only 1 trunk? Unless another Khorikoim becomes the other "hand", I see it as a stretch but I could be wrong.
A lot of times they use their tusk or a tusk cap as a brace. The tusk tip being right in front of their eye is very helpful in precision work
Honestly would be amazing to run a table top game based on this world, with all the cool peoples both of a Primate descent or other species descent. I would absolutely run as a Manephaunt who specializes in being a tank lol
I wonder how many sapient species exist in Kaimere, cuz there's Homo Sapien/Kaimerans, Homunculi, Pterasaurs, and now Elephants.
Don't have a finished list yet but there are many!
There are more sapient species in the Homo genus then just Homo Sapiens on Kaimere.
@@TalesofKaimere has there been debate within the assembly to have our species name changed from Sapien, since we’re not the only sapient members of the homo genus in this timeline?
@@augustusvillanueva2008 Taxonomically speaking, their any obligations or problems forcing the Assembly to change that.
First, only the genus name of a particular animal can change, if we discover that it belong and is part of another species that was described ealier.
And several highly unrellated species, like pterosaurs, insects or birds, have complete identical species name.
Even, Homo sapiens will still a base, the original example one, if the word "sapiens" is use to refer to another sapient/sophont non-human being.
@@TalesofKaimere are the orcas considered sapient? In your novel they appear to be
Holy fuck, so we have manephants at the assembly? Awesome!!! Also is the consultant Argunite himself? Or you just put him there as an example??
He is indeed an informant and the one they mentioned in the episode
Are there any ceratopsians on the Strong Islands archipelago?
None planned
God bless
I do wonder about a thing : does the fact they don't find beauty in visuals mean they find geometry to be alien ?
I hadn't considered that. I imagine they need to have at least some of the concepts to successfully navigate, but I don't know enough about mathematic psychology to say so with much confidence.
How heavy is the largest lunar oliphaunt?
Can you please make sure to make Dinobirds of kaimere please
I want this because I want to learn her and see the dinobirds of kaimere
Oh yeah if you don't get what type of Dino birds I'm I'm talking about who I'm talking about the dino birds that had the bony not the Mesozoic birds by the quad wings and and teeth the birds that have teeth clog wings and a ponytail on talking about those
If you make a video that next week or the week after thank you😊
The firebirds are a type of dinobird and they have an episode later in the summer!
Kaimere Tuesday! \(T)/
I wonder what that guy whose partner was Dukilgun thinks about these elephant folk.
Also is there a race of sophant caecilians in this world somewhere? They are snakelike amphibians so perhaps they live a rainforest with a bunch of natural caverns that floods periodically?
16:20 Interesting, the closest we've got to deliberate omnivorous proboscideans on Earth was the man-eating elephant who ate 17 people in India although it was probably for revenge purposes after the elephant saw her calf get killed by humans rather than consumption purposes. Other instances of elephants eating meat (from other animals) are rather accidental.
Planet of the elephants sounds good to me
First!
Wow, you've made such a fascinating culture of these manephaunts and watching this elephant series has been a delight!
Thank you!
@@TalesofKaimere you're welcome :)
Non-humanoid sapient species are the most interesting kind. Humanity would be really disappointed to meet aliens that were just like them
It's Dumbo the Elephant 🐘 !
Have the chuga domesticated any animals or plants of their own?
Definitely some plants and the fungi I mentioned in the episode. Not sure about animals but probably not.
Interesting I wonder what other intelligent species we will see?
I wish we had human level elephants-.....wait nvm the poor things would suffer in our world.
If all of our three remaining elephants species were sapient/human intelligence, they would see their vulnerable situation being very, very less difficult !
Because if that was the case, people and chinese (because it's them who command ivory to poachers in the first place) will be very, but VERY reluctan to consume something that came from a species that is like us inside.
Because killing and consuming a non-sapient lifeform, who is completely like a human in a animal body, will be very disturbing to us and being at the same level than to consume another human itself !
Woud be a sort of cannibalism form in some ways....
And, usually, except if you're not a complete asholes who don't care for the life of others, you will no want to hurt somebody else who is like you, with the same intelligence and concience.
