With the recent drought and COVID-19 pandemic impacting supply and funding, Mahouts are struggling to provide fresh food and water to their elephants. For just $25 AUD, you can provide fresh food and water to an elephant for a day. Donate: h-elp.org/leave-a-donati…

Elephants learn to identify plants safe to eat by watching their friends and elders. Here is Mae Noi reaching over to sniff a branch taken down by Boonsri. Elephants do not share food and some can be aggressive but seems like Boonsri does not mind a little sniff. Repost: @elehelp

#ElephantFact Elephants have 61 vertebrae in their spine. In comparison, adult humans have 24 vertebrae. #elephantknowledge #facts #asianelephants #elephantlove #elephantwelfare #elephants #elephant #asianelephant #animallove #asia #thailand

#ElephantFact 🐘 Elephants are efficient seed dispersers. Seeds that pass out in the elephant's dung are highly viable and sprout easily #elephantlove #elephantwelfare #animalwelfare #elephantlovers #savetheelephants #elephantfamily #saveelephants #loveelephants #elephantsantuary
