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.
Seriously, I have an elephant’s eyelash, given to me by an elephant keeper at London Zoo over 50 years ago. I nursed the elephant keeper for several weeks. We shared a love of elephants and he gave me this unique and precious gift on his recovery. I’m pleased to say elephants are no longer kept at London Zoo, instead enjoying better facilities at Whipsnade Safari Park.
I don’t know, Panda. I think we should take Jasper’s point of view into account. After all, everything is relative. I believe even the elephants would agree!
Oh, my, I wish I had known about Clee Images before now. I would have stolen...er, borrowed some of their wonderful photos myself!
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.
The images were stunning. Great curation!

Thank you for the collaboration Heidi. Love it! ❤️
Great information Heidi! That gestation period for an elephant was that long. That's amazing! Also some excellent photos of elephants shared.

Thanks for this important information about African elephants, Heidi and critter friends. My heart is open for them, and I hope they thrive.
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!
