Please support this elephant sanctuary in Brasil: Credit to @elefantesbrasil : O elefante e o arco-íris 🐘🌈 Embora nada possa ir mais longe do que as patas de um elefante, Rana sabia que, para que pudesse deixar a Fazenda Boa Luz em Sergipe para trás e percorrer os dois mil e setecentos quilômetros que a levariam ao Santuário, suas patas não seriam suficientes. - Coragem, menina. Coragem! Em segredo, diante daquele vazio sem fim, lhe prometemos outras versões de vida, campos verdes e banhos de lama. Foi corajosa. Determinada, entrou na caixa de transporte trazendo em sua bagagem, além das sofridas e inconfessas dores, um lindo arco-íris pincelado de cores e suspenso no céu. Chegando ao Santuário, não esperou que o telhado de sua caixa fosse aberto, dobrou seus joelhos gentilmente e, com um grande esforço, abaixou-se, pisando, pela primeira vez, no chão do Santuário, terra dos elefantes! Por fim, silenciosamente, veio a chuva para abençoar sua chegada e acalentar seu descanso. Rana, Maia e Guida preenchem os espaços deste Santuário com esplendor e bondade, dando-nos a certeza de que estamos no caminho certo. Ajude-nos a salvar outras vidas. Há muitos elefantes esperando por nós.

Another documented elephant behaviour - here the elephants carefully clear a spot from debris in the water so they will sip just water and if it’s not good they move on. This is a #repost from @elephantvoices via @PhotoAroundApp Another installment from our upcoming Elephant Ethogram: A Library of Elephant Behavior. A family in Amboseli first “filters” swamp water before tasting and rejecting it and moving on to a better place to drink. Filter-Water: Using the tip, or fingers, of the trunk to swish back and forth on the surface of the water to disperse floating debris. Then, placing an only partially submerged trunk tip parallel to the surface of the water, slowly and gently sucking in ‘filtered’ water. The filtering process may be repeated for each trunkful. 🐘 • Want to learn more about elephant behavior?

This interesting Instagram account shares the observed behaviours common to all/most #Elephants. This video documents #FloppyRunning •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. This is a #repost @elephantvoices via @PhotoAroundApp *Turn your sound on!* From our upcoming Elephant Ethogram: A Library of African Elephant Behavior - to whet your appetite 🙂 Floppy-Running: An elephant, or elephants, ‘running’ with a loose, floppy gait, shaking a lowered head from side-to-side, letting ears flap against the neck and curling the tail up. Floppy-Running is often associated with trumpeting - in particular Pulsated-Play-Trumpets and Nasal-Play-Trumpets.🐘 Elephants Floppy-Run when they are playfully excited. This example shows an aggregation of elephants coming in from Amboseli’s Olodare area. At the road one of the elephants may have gotten frightened by a tourist vehicle, but that quickly transformed into an excuse for Floppy-Running en masse - adults and young alike. Several engage in Pulsated-Play-Trumpets. To the untrained eye it can look rather alarming, but we can assure you that they were just being silly and having fun. 🐘 • Want to learn more about elephant behavior?

Don’t forget to keep Elephants in your mind & heart #trunkupwines Love this pic from @maxmelesi ・・・ Holding Trunks (Holding Hands). An intimate bond between two young elephant age-mates. Raised within the same breeding herd these two female calf's have grown and learnt life's lessons together and will eventually rear their own calf’s and mother together. If reincarnation is true and there was a choice, it’s without a doubt I would be an elephant in the next life. #maxmelesiphotography #wildlifephotographer #ourplanetdaily #elephantvoices #wildlifeplanet #wildlife_perfection #african_portraits #igers #wildlife_shots #wildlife_vision #elephant #worthmorealive #luxurysafari #africanamazing #animalsco #animalelite #wildlife_perfection #animalkingdom #onlyafrica #photoigfam @africanportraits @earthfocus @earthpics @featuredwildlife https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnxn6XJnWtG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ld85mv5cwucc

My heart is so sad #trunkupwines @elephantvoices ・・・ Many of you have now heard the devastating news that 87 elephants were killed for their tusks near the world famous Okavango Delta in Botswana. The killing of elephants for their ivory is driving enormous declines in numbers and causes deep suffering to individuals. The death and trauma leads to the fragmentation of families and destroys the fabric of elephant societies. We stand with @elephantswithoutborders. We ask the President of Botswana to uphold Botswana’s conservation legacy and tackle this problem head on. It is totally unacceptable for a country that has been at the forefront of elephant conservation to allow this to happen. 🐘 • To read this article please view our story. • Want to learn more about elephant behavior?
