  • Människans relation till elefanten sträcker sig tillbaka till stenåldern, först som bytesdjur och senare även som nyttodjur. Under en period var den viktig i krigföring och senare inom underhållnings- och turistindustrin, på cirkusar och liknande. Denna relation har gjort elefanten till ett viktigt djur inom mytologi, religion och som symbol. Ända sedan stenåldern har djuret varit ett omtyckt motiv och elefanten dyker upp i måleri, skulptur, musik, litteratur och arkitektur, och förekommer ofta även i populärkulturen, i samband med ordstäv, logotyper och på film och TV.

Eles também têm conotações negativas, como ser um símbolo de um fardo desnecessário. Desde a Idade da Pedra, quando os elefantes foram representados por antigos petroglifos e arte rupestre, eles foram retratados em muitas formas de arte, incluindo quadros, esculturas, música, filmes e até mesmo a arquitetura.
