>>1986817But it isn;t a myth, Hell mythbuster even proven it by going to Africa and making an "appearing-mouse" trap to see how it reacted, and it literally jumped back a little. I think it has more to do with the fact that mouse and rodents still have bones and having those stuck under your feet sole, especially for an elephant, mustn't be the most pleasant of feeling.
I mean, would you voluntarily jump feet naked on legos?
