Honoring elephants and those who protect them.

This was built in 7th century and as you can see, this glorious animal was famous even back then. Descent of the Ganges or Arjuna's Penance has its own beautiful story. Thats for another day. #WorldElephantDay #love #elephants

Happy World Elephant Day guys. I will share some of my favorite elephant photographs and videos over the years.

A gentle reminder that elephants are highly intelligent, social animals and not luxury collectibles.

And perhaps the best way to celebrate them is to protect their habitats and let them live as naturally and freely as possible.

It was musth season in South Africa and the bull elephants can be quite agressive. That made it all the more exhilerating to have this bull just feet from our truck standing alongside the road. He had been in our camp the night before.

Don’t fall in, baby elephant!

Captive elephants sway their heads due to boredom, not habit, elephant expert Dr P.S. Easa says. Experts also urged mahouts to provide toys, reduce rice in their diet and allow natural musth cycles. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/captive-elephants-head-bobbing-is-a-sign-of-boredom-says-expert-mzls6db7?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Elephants #Kerala #Wildlife #ElephantWelfare #CaptiveElephants

🤔 What to do with zoo animals?

"These elephants are highly intelligent, socially complex and sentient beings who are living in conditions that are damaging to their well-being, and who are, as a result, in a state of distress," said the three parties behind the case"
