Because they were taller/bigger than every other animal and could lead the other animals to water-River.
I donât believe thereâs a river.

Come again.
1 rabbit going to the river =1
saw 6 elephants but they werent going = 0
every elephant saw 2 monkeys going to the river = 12
every monkey was holding one parrot = 12
12+12+1= 25
nope. Correct answer is 5 as I stated previously as did few others.
Just googled it since Delmarr decided not give us his answer. Below is what I found:
One rabbit saw six elephants while going to the river.
Every elephant saw two monkeys going towards the river.
Every monkey holds one parrot in their hands.
How many âanimalsâ are going towards the river ?
The answer to the simple maths riddle is:
5 Animals.
Well done if you got it right.
So your primary witnesses in this case were the elephants.
Were the elephants separated before questioning?
What kind of questions were asked of the elephants?
Did the investigator just ask how many monkeys were going to the river or did he ask for a description of the monkeys?
Do the elephants have the capacity to count?
Did anything distort their vision?
Did you question the Giraffe, who is not even mentioned above, has a better view, and was not busy gossiping with the elephants.
We have the issue of confirmation bias.
This is what happens when you are in a small NYC apartment since March 13.

Hotel, you ask more questions than I do. Thatâs hard to do.
Has Delmar ever returned to inform the world the answer? Canât leave us hanging for ever.
Congrats for getting the right answer.
So, it was definitely a keep it simple stupid question. 
Did he specify that these were the only animals that could go to the river?
They were the only going there at the time the math quiz was given
