Boswell is a large bull elephant who has come up with an incredible adaption for feasting on fruits and young leaves in the treetops. Boswell, and now a number of other younger animals are exhibiting a behavior seen nowhere else in the world. They are standing up on their hind legs to feed! 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘 Despite a ban on the international trade in ivory, African elephants are still being poached in large numbers. Tens of thousands of elephants are being killed every year for their ivory. In order to protect these incredible creatures, in partnership with @zambezi_elephant_fund we have created the #standupforelephants campaign! If you love these animals and want to see them and their home protected, stand up for elephants. Take a video of yourself standing up for elephants, post it with the hashtag and send it to me to be featured in the next round of the campaign! Together we can make a difference. .
