Baby elephant bulls are my absolute favourite! They are oblivious to their body size but are very aware of the fact they are boys and they truly revel in that knowledge. A visit to the elephant orphanage had us totally surprised as the boys came stampeding around the corner, ears flapping wildly as they launched themselves into the mud bath.
All the elephants at the orphanage were found at a very young age either lost from their troop or next to their mother who had been killed. The orphanage hand raises them and then when they are old enough they are moved and introduced back to the wild.
They do a great job and it’s really worth the visit especially if you want to touch an elephant and get a real close up picture.
