But every bit of their behavior comes from a place of innocence and pure-hearted emotion.
Sri Nuan is still young at heart June 22, 2025April 8, 2025 by Roi Sri Nuan is known for her reserved yet kind-hearted nature. 💕🐘 She doesn’t often show her emotions, but she has taken on the role of a nanny to many baby elephants here. Rescued from the logging industry, Sri Nuan is blind in one eye, which may explain why she lacks confidence in expressing herself. However, when it comes to taking care of the little ones, her devotion is unwavering.

More than two hundred aftershocks have occurred since the initial quake. While humans may occasionally feel tremors of magnitude 1-4—sometimes just as a brief feeling of dizziness—elephants perceive far more.
Elephants Are Fussy Eaters! June 22, 2025March 31, 2025 by Roi Elephants are remarkably intelligent and sensitive animals and take a discerning approach to their meals. They’ll meticulously shake the dirt off roots and tubers with their trunks, ensuring their food is clean before taking a bite.🐘✨
