@songbird

I agree...don't stop posting!

Love the little blankets and that they all seem to be enjoying the stroll.

So beautiful!

As an animal lover I enjoy your posts. I hope you continue to send them.

This picture is so uplifting. I see not only two adorable elephants but a person who is caring for them and providing a safe haven! Those who protect and give help to animals are heroes in my book!

Thanks for posting..... I just love elephants and their strong sense of family whether with humans or their own kind....

From a blog on elephants---

"Elephants are known to develop strong, intimate bonds between friends and family members. There have been reports of elephants forming lifelong friendships with each other, and they even mourn the death of their loved ones"

I agree, that is a cute picture. I've seen pictures of baby elephants playing in water that is an overload of cuteness as well.

@songbird Is this from Sheldrick ? I adopted Luggard and Eneska. It broke my heart when Luggard died. I could not believe it.

Yes, it's from Sheldrick. Luggard died May 11, 2021. For those that didn't know: When he was 4 months old, a gun shot shattered his leg. They fixed his leg, and it seems to be getting better. And for a while it did. But in the longer term, his leg was rejected. This is what happened:

@songbird I've adopted Esoit. He reminds me of Luggard, but his legs were disfigured at birth. The little fella has a sad story.

I really was heartbroken over Luggard.
