The elephant's altruistic heart

When the earthquake occurred in Sumatra in December 26th, 2004, people could not notice that big tsunami was coming from the coast. As everybody knows, that was a huge disaster.
However, most of animals said to escape to the hill. Tsunami beat the town of three or four kilometers from seashore.

Elephants immediately began to evacuate. And they tried to save people. They carried people on their back and run away from there. Why could elephants have such an altruistic heart in such an emergency situation? Female elephants and kids usually stay in a group. Having a altruistic heart has been keeping elephant’s society and protect themselves. Elephants seem to have an ability on their gene information.
