Baby Elephant Wan Mai & Bai Toey And Their Life After 2 Families Joined - ElephantNews

#herd #elephant An elephant's natural life is to live in a herd, with all of the complex social and political mores intact and adhered to by all. The captive elephant has no recollection of this life, other than when bearing children into this world and being preferred the freedom to raise them within the protective nanny network which is instinctual. Elephants need each other, and especially the lone mother who longs for something remote and almost unattainable - her birthright as an elephant, to raise her children with others without fear or threat of harm. At Elephant Nature Park, we try to build upon family and foster an interdependency for the care of the young. Observe the recent friendships established between MaeMai, WanMai, and SriNuan with Meeboon and Baitoey. Their expressions of joy and self-evident commitments to one another are tangible. We are overwhelmed by the potential for fostering healing and growth.
