Good question, Julie. Elephants are self-aware, so it's safe to say that they are aware of their own actions, and likely the consequences of something with clear cause and effect relationships - like attack - injury. As for the interpretation, I wonder if the long term relationship between Winkie and these caregivers doesn't give them special insight. It's imperfect knowledge, even with other humans. I'd like to think I know when one of the canine or feline members of this household are out of sorts by patterns in their behavior and that there are clues as to what that is. I'm really glad there are places like TES!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('16','Debra Durham'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('16','Debra Durham','Thanks for stopping by!\r\nGood question, Julie.

I'm saddened, but not at all surprised, that animals can experience PTSD. I wonder how they could tell that Winkie "took responsibility" for her actions.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('15','Julie'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('15','Julie','Yes, indeed.
