I have a friend who has dedicated her life to saving Indian elephants. Sadly, many elephants in Asia and on the Indian subcontinent have been mistreated. These magnificent creatures are intelligent, sensitive and community-oriented. They deserve our protection and respect.
Thank you for this thoughtful comment, Renato. The Asian elephants absolutely deserve to have us open our hearts and minds to them. Would you like to see them featured in a post here at Critters? They are the third extant species of elephants, along with the two African species.
Absolutely! We really appreciate that, Diana. Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for reading. These are difficult topics that tie into so much hurt in the world. Our goal at Critters is to find a path forward and, like elephants, never forget to have a sense of humor. We are grateful for your readership. Take good care.
This is fantastic; Arya and I enjoyed learning about these magnificient mammals. Kudos to all the critters. I read that elephants not only have good memories, but they also grieve their losses as much as humans do.
Thank you, Perry! We really appreciate your feedback. You are correct about their grief, they also cry like we do. I made a reference, although not scientific, in the haiku about when they weep. They are incredibly sensitive and we have much to learn from them.
Thank you, Maureen! This is a truly incredible story! When I was in High School, I volunteered at the zoo in Portland, Oregon. I had a tail hair that had been shed from one of the elephants. It was like a wire. Your story reminds me of that. Thanks again for sharing!
Thank you, Alan. Thank you very much. It’s me. Jasper Kitten! The Bush at the Gas Station is in fact smaller than the savanna in South Africa. I now know this. Because. I googled it with my toe beans and studied the satellite imagery at scale. Thank you for appreciating my point of view and for appreciating elephants. That’s nice of you. Yours truly, JKitten🐾🐾
The images were stunning. Great curation!
Thank you so much, Cindy! I’ll pass your comments along to Clee Images. Take good care!

Sure, if you have information that you'd like to share, that would be nice. But honestly, just write about what matters most to you.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Renato.
Thank you for the collaboration Heidi. Love it! ❤️
Thank you for the collaboration Carrie! We are getting lots of good feedback! I’ll be sure to restack a thanks to you!
Awesomeness!
Great information Heidi! That gestation period for an elephant was that long. That's amazing! Also some excellent photos of elephants shared.
Thank you, Neil! Really appreciate the feedback. Take good care!
Thanks for this important information about African elephants, Heidi and critter friends. My heart is open for them, and I hope they thrive.
Thank you so much, Diana! We really appreciate you being here. Thank you for your openness.
And thank you, Heidi, for your advocacy of animals. And for the fun interlude amidst all these other posts.

You too, Heidi, and thanks for finding such a creative way to discuss these very serious and difficult topics.
Thank, hearing this is truly humbling. Thank you, Diana.
Insane that it takes 22 months for this species to have a baby. Thanks for all the great information packaged in such an enjoyable way!

Thank you so much for sharing this with us in the comments at Critters. I’m going to look up Whipsnade Safari Park.
I see it on the map!
