If you noticed how the third adult elephant was pacing around to find a way out of the enclosure so he could also help with the rescue.

An elephant is highly intelligent, great memories, family oriented and so on. That’s why it is my most favorite animal!. Love them so much I even have the pendant 🙂

What clever, beautiful, kind animals. But remember, a lot of people think animals have no thoughts, feelings, emotions. ????
