泰国大象节
泰国大象节，泰国富有特色的传统宗教节日，其主要表演者是大象。大象在泰国文化中享有很高地位，是力量与优雅的象征。创办于1960年的大象盛会，在每年3月13举行。通常包括展示、游行和大象舞蹈比赛等活动环节，总能吸引数千名泰国人和各国游客，为当地经济的一大支柱。
大象是泰国的吉祥动物、国宝，在古代不仅是日常生活中必不可少的重要交通工具，也是战争中国王的坐骑。然而，现今泰国全国野生大象仅存约3000头，人工饲养的大象也只有4000头左右，滥捕大象的问题仍然存在。泰国政府从1998年起，将每年的3月13日定为“大象节”，希望通过“大象节”唤起民众对大象的爱护及对大象文化的传承。

Tip :
大象大脑的大小是人类的三倍，并且同样具有复杂的神经网络，以及高度发达的海马体和大脑皮层，而且它的神经元的数量足足有2570亿个，但人类却只有860亿个。这说明大象的大脑具有长期记忆的基础，再加上与情感情感相关的海马体，不仅能让大象的情商相当高，还能将他自己的感受嵌入长期记忆中，这使得他的记忆成为一个复杂具有适应能力的载体，自然远超机械性记忆。所以大象一般不会忘事。
