Never understood that one.
The article below doesn't really answer your question
"why"
.
Well, there are other social and intelligent creatures besides humans.
Study confirms Elephant Memory
Elephant memory has long been proverbial – now scientists confirmed this again.
Two elephants apparently remembered previous keepers.
A study once again confirmed that elephants have exceptional long-term memory.
According to a study by Kiel University, they remember their keepers even after many years.
Two African elephants, for example, who were separated from their keeper 13 years ago,
apparently still recognized his scent after a long time.
According to Kiel University, this is the first study to scientifically investigate whether elephants can remember individuals of another species after a long period of time.

Because they don't get out much and very little happens to them outside of maybe one or two rather questionable relationships online.
That was harsh.
Think twice what you do with your last Rolo.
