Bun Ma and her daughter, Chaba play together in the river.

"BunMa is another young female elephant who never had a life of playfulness nor the freedom to run when she was a baby. From a young age, she has taken away from her mom and trained to perform for tourists.

In her teens, she was bred and became a young teenage mother. Her freedom at ENP now allows her to do those things that she missed as a child. Happiness has returned to her life. With a young child, the opportunity to play abounds and she explores that fully. BunMa also knows her duties as mother of Chaba, and tries her best to meet that responsibility."
