Are elephants really afraid of mice?

I was just wondering if elephants are really afraid of mice, and why? Their so big and their so samll can anyone answer this for me?Are elephants really afraid of mice?
Hrm, well I remember the Mythbusters tackling this myth and they wanted to avoid using tame elephants. So they went to african and tested elephants that were wild but somewhat aclimated to humnans. The result was 'plausible.' Although the elephant did not panic, they were definatly wary of the mouse by pausing, stepping back and making a wide berth.Are elephants really afraid of mice?
No
elephants r not afraid of mice. in reality they r actually related 2 the rodent hyrax. i dont believe elephants and mice ever meet in nature anyway.
We found them at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum %26amp; Bailey Circus, where the head clown let me ask the audience.





The resounding answer from the audience: ';Mice. Mice. Mice.';





Many people, however, learned about elephants fearing mice from cartoons like ';Dumbo.';





But why would a big animal fear such a small one? Well, it seems logical to us or at least plausible because if you think about it, as adults we are afraid of little bugs.





And what would one of these elephants do if we showed it a mouse?





Not much. Troy Metzler, the circus' elephant trainer, let me take one white mouse and show it to an elephant that only looked bored by it all.





Metzler says he's seen mice around the elephants. They like the hay, but he's never tested the myth up close.





';We've never really gave it a thought,'; Metzler said. ';I'm glad we got the chance.';





Seemed to me the elephant was more likely to inhale the mouse than fear it.





Metzler showed mice to several of his elephants, and not one of them seemed to care much.





He's trained elephants for 24 years and says, elephants fear no animal.





';They're the kings of the jungle because they have no natural enemies,'; Metzler said.
Only if they are really really really big. Like 8 foot tall or better.
No. This is a myth.
