ELEPHANTS AND CHEESE: AN EXPLORATORY PAPER

by Teck Wann

It is widely known that elephants fear cheese, and will flee at the first whiff of
it (see for example Vancouver Sun . (2003, November 22). Elephants Source F
stampede, 7 cheese-lovers trampled, p. A1, A8.
). What is not yet well understood is why this
phenomenon occurs. For more than a decade academics have been
researching this perplexing topic. Their work constitutes part of the
Source D
booming new discipline known as pachydermo-fromagology, which is
defined as “the study of elephant-cheese interactions” ( Concise
Oxford dictionary, 11th ed. (2004). ). 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 ( Coleman, G.J. (1984). An Source B
odd behaviour observed among the species Elephas maximus
). The story of the discovery is now famous, but 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
Sources
an enormous trampling sound, and when I looked up, the entire Source C,
G, H
herd was gone. ( Gibson, C.N. &Sturgess, M.N. (1987). page 160
Elephant fleeing behaviour confirmed. Journal of
Elephantology, 16, 239-245, and Gibson, C.N. Sturgess, M.N., Source E
& Bates, A.T. (1989). Experiments with cheese effects on
Elephas maximus and Elephas africanus. Journal of
Elephantology, 18, 120-134 )
His discovery, while dismissed at the time, was subsequently
corroborated by other researchers. Several studies (
http://www.sfu.ca/eri/reports/00107elephants.pdf ) have
confirmed the phenomenon, and that it occurs among both African
and Asian elephants. A recent report by the Elephant Research
Institute
( http://www.mondedefromage.fr/elephants.html
) established that smell is the primary means elephants
detect cheese, and that they will ignore large pieces of cheese if tightly
Source I,
wrapped. Meanwhile a French cheese expert asserts on his website Introduction,
para. 2
that elephants do not flee from French cheese, only the lesser cheeses
of other nations. “Zee creatures, zey have good taste, non?” he writes
( http://www.elsevierpublisher.com/ijrr/56/4/maas.htm ).

Recently, a new theory has exploded on the scene and caused

quite a stink. Based on several clever experiments, K. Maas Source J,
( Achison, C.L. (2004, April). A ripe and weighty issue: an interview with page 468
Monica Sturgess. Cheese Lovers World, 6 (4), 12-13.

) has claimed that in fact elephants do not fear cheese at all, but instead
Source A
fear the mice which are attracted to cheese. However, this theory, which
she calls the Maas Mouse Hypothesis (MMH), has not yet been widely
accepted. One researcher ( Sturgess, M.N. (2004a). Of mice and
cheese (Part 1). Journal of Trunked Mammal Studies, 43, 10-15.
Sources
K, L
) has published a series of articles roundly denouncing the MMH, and the
debate has even spilled over into the popular press (Sturgess, M.N.
(2004b). Of mice and cheese (Part 2). Journal of Trunked Mammal
Studies, 43, 219-225.

).

What are we to make of this controversy? A good starting point.
