Elephants are amazing. I'm fascinated by their behaviour. Human arrogance and mistreatment of other species..don't get me started :P
Thanks for sharing..that was awesome.

They are amazing. It will be sad when they are gone.

Indeed.

Here is Shirley's story. (Don't miss the chapter links on the left side of the page.)

And here is Jenny's story.

Finally, here is the bittersweet conclusion of their reunion.

Elephants are such beautiful creatures. And they are much like humans in that, in the wild, their families stay together until the babies are teenagers. They mourn each others deaths. The females watch after each others babies.

I have refused to go to a circus since I was a child. The way these beautiful animals are treated is just too horrendous for words.

Thank you for sharing these stories.

You are all quite welcome.

As I'm sure you all have noticed, I am quite fond of all creatures (yes, even the creepy ones). It is a pleasure to find so many on here who feel the same, and get as much enjoyment out of them as I. They do seem to feed my very soul, and for that I am grateful.

Enjoy!

Here is a link describing the revived ivory trade and the extinction vortex facing African elephants. Not as heart warming as the other links in this thread, but reality nonetheless.
