+ add your ownIt is a shame that intelligent animals are in zoos though, I prefer them to be free in their natural habitat.
I'm happy that this elephant has a little something in her day, but really this is not where she should be.
Dynamic!
I love elephants! They're so cute :)
Wonderful. There are no limits for nature's capabilities
Thank you Leonard D., for the link to the Thai Elephant Conservation Center. A truly inspiring story, worth watching !
Don't you just looove those stories were humans will go out of their ways to make other living creatures' lives more interesting ?
All in the name of love and respect !
Life is wonderful when we put our minds and hearts in it !!
TOO SWEET!!
She is a true entertainer with a great musical talent!
I wish she was out of captivity and in her natural environment.
As much as I liked seeing how she can play the harmonica, I feel really bad that she is living in a zoo and not in the wild where she belongs!!
