Elephants Run To Greet The Newly Rescued Baby Elephant "Chaba"

[catbyte]

I feel so bad for the mom, Bunma, she is so malnourished and so stressed out when they were rescued last week. She was constantly swaying and pacing a week ago and couldn't produce enough milk for baby Chaba. She seems much better emotionally and she is able to feed little Chaba on her own now. So happy they are getting such a warm welcome from Pyi Mai's family.

2. Trunks In Mouths

“But while humans might offer a hug, elephants have an approach all their own: they reach out and touch their trunk to the other elephant's genitals, put their trunks in the other elephant's mouth, or make a high-pitched noise. “

Mama certainly was distressed but that is now over for her. She will live in peace with compassionate, loving caretakers forever now.

9. How can sick fucks like LaPierre & the tRump spawns feel entitled to sport hunt these creatures???

It just makes me sick, seeing the level of emotion elephants are capable of...

11. Thanks. I love that elephants have such a strong sense of family. I've read that giraffes have

a similar family structure and I guess that's why I've always liked them too.
