Old elephants near death leave their herd to die in an elephants' graveyard.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Old elephants near death leave their herd to die in an elephants' graveyard?

No. A reference work on the elephants' graveyard legend states there is no evidence supporting it, and a myth-debunking book explicitly says elephants do not leave their herd to go to a graveyard when near death.
