The Elephant Nature Park

Here is a picture post from the Elephant Nature Park that I went to a few weeks ago.  The park is wonderful and it is set up to help and treat elephants that have been injured and are accepted nowhere else.  The park cares for these animals in full, with all the proceeds going to the care.  They don't allow riding of the animals, or using them to paint pictures or any of the silliness at the other parks.  The entire visit is based around the needs of the animals - feeding them and washing them.  Thanks to my friend Marina, we we left Prem and went in search of adventure.  What a great day!  Here are the better pictures I took.

Feeding the elephants.

What great poses.

Washing the elephants.










The family hear coming down with the Mahuts to wash.




After washing, the elephants fed again, and I loved zooming in to watch how they ate.  Their twirling trunks are amazing.



Family love
