ELEPHANTS AND CHEESE: AN EXPLORATORY PAPER

Teck Wann

It is widely known that elephants fear cheese, and will flee at the first whiff of it
(………………………………………….……………………………………………). What is not yet well understood is why this phenomenon Source F
occurs. For more than a decade academics have been researching this perplexing topic. Their
work constitutes part of the booming new discipline known as pachydermo-fromagology, which
is defined as “the study of elephant-cheese interactions” (………………………………………….……………………………………………). Source D
This paper will evaluate existing research and theories, and argue that none of them
satisfactorily explain the data which has been gathered so far.

That elephants fear cheese was an accidental discovery made by the noted elephantologist G.
Coleman (………………………………………….……………………………………………). The story of the discovery is now famous, but Source B
worth repeating:
After a hard morning following the herd, I had just sat down under a tree for
 lunch and unwrapped a particularly delectable chunk of cheddar sent up
from the base camp. Suddenly I heard an enormous trampling sound, and
Source C,
when I looked up, the entire herd was gone.
page160
(……………………………………….……………………………………………)
His discovery, while dismissed at the time, was subsequently corroborated by other
researchers. Several studies (……………………………………….……………………………………………) have confirmed the Source G, H
phenomenon, and that it occurs among both African and Asian elephants. A recent report by
the Elephant Research Institute (……………………………………….……………………………………………) established that smell is Source E
the primary means elephants detect cheese, and that they will ignore large pieces of cheese if
tightly wrapped. Meanwhile a French cheese expert asserts on his website that elephants do
not flee from French cheese, only the lesser cheeses of other nations. “Zee creatures, zey have
good taste, non?” he writes Source I,
(…………………………………….……………………………………………). Introduction
Para 2

Recently, a new theory has exploded on the scene and caused quite a stink. Based on several
clever experiments, K. Maas (……………………………………….……………………………………………) has claimed that in fact Source J
elephants do not fear cheese at all, but instead fear the mice which are attracted to cheese. Page 468
However, this theory, which she calls the Maas Mouse Hypothesis (MMH), has not yet been
widely accepted. One researcher (……………………………………….……………………………………………) has published a series of Source K, L
articles roundly denouncing the MMH, and the debate has even spilled over into the popular
press (……………………………………….……………………………………………). Source A
