MAKE ELE's CRY

There are moths that drink the tears of elephants. Tears contain salt, water and trace levels of protein.

Mabra elephantophila steals the tears without the elephants seeming to notice. Lobocraspis griseifusa does not wait for an animal's eyes to moisten - it sweeps its proboscis across the eye of its host, irritating the eyeball, encouraging it to produce tears.
