Tim the elephant seeks human help when hit by a spear

When poachers hit Tim in the ear with a spear Tim knew where he could find help. Sadly this is not the first time Tim had been speared. He had been hit in the rump once before. His wound got infected. Rangers tranquilized Tim and treated his wound. Tim knew they would likely help him again. He sought out conservationist for help with his wound. African elephants ears have many blood vessels. They use their massive ears to cool themselves in the staggering heat. Blood flows thru their ears and is cooled very much like a car radiator.
