Nanny are you ready to play with me ? Baby elephant Navann try to convince his nanny to play

Elephant Nature Park

Who is the most happiest baby elephant ? Who is the most joyful ? See these pictures then here are the answer.

In every day, we keep watching Navann activities to learn about his behavior. The baby elephant is not different from the human child, they are enthusiastic and joyful. Navann learn how to play with the tire without any training. When he find out how to have fun, he’s not hesitate to play the tire with his nanny. We hope all of the nannies (as we know that they used to be the abused elephant) will get warm in their heart from the innocent love of this cutie boy.

Elephant of the Week 31 July 2023: Jokia

Jokia joined our elephant family in 1997. Mae Perm, the Park’s first rescue, embraced her right away when they met and they were best friends until Mae Perm passed in 2016. Through Mae Perm, Jokia was introduced to many elephants, and, most significantly, to SriPrae who took Jokia into her family when Mae Perm died. Jokia became nanny to Navaan and the closest friend to his mother.
