The day the earth shook

After several days apart, Faa Mai and the little ones rejoiced in seeing Mother Lek! Especially Faa Mai, who rushed to pull Lek close, grabbing onto her hat string and leading her along while enjoying being serenaded with a lullaby.

Grandma Jokia is having so much fun playing with the suspended tires and is no doubt glad to have the joyful company of little Lek Lek, who is rubbing against the log nearby. Jokia lives a full and happy life despite her blindness and is relishing her role as nanny to baby Lek Lek.

On a beautiful morning, kissed by sunlight and a cool breeze, the lovely Khamla lies down on the grass, soaking up the warmth, while her family watches over her protectively. Even though Khamla has grown into a young adult, she is still the youngest in her herd. To them, she remains their little one, the heart of their family, cherished by all.

Watch those joyful tails swing! The happy herd savor their treats in a wave of harmonious satisfaction.

Despite being completely blind, Jokia moves with natural confidence, navigating her surroundings with ease. As one of the first elephants to be rescued by Lek, her many years at Elephant Nature Park have given her a strong sense of familiarity, security, and trust. Such a gorgeous old girl.
