Kenya has a new habit: carrying her whole hay pile to whatever spot she wants to eat. Sometimes she even stacks extra under her tusk. She’s also walking better lately, with less tenderness in her front right foot. Read more: https://globalelephants.org/kenyas-mouthful-of-alfalfa/

So often, we catch Mara with Rana together at a distance, but we rarely get an opportunity to share video of Mara on her own and up close. This week’s Sunday Smile gives us a look at her lovely face and her sweet, little round ears.

Pop and squish! 🍉 Watermelon is a favorite food for our sanctuary residents, and it can be mesmerizing to watch them bite down on the large treats. As Maia makes a mess of her melon, you can see that she often flaps her ears asynchronously. One ear typically flaps before the other –

Why is it called a ‘white elephant’ gift? 🐘 The name comes from a Siamese legend where rare white elephants were gifted as an expensive burden. Today, it’s just a fun holiday tradition! https://globalelephants.org/elefact-friday-white-elephant-offerings/ Photo of Maia, who's not white -- but pink!

Every elephant’s tail is just a little different from their neighbor’s. Guille is well known for having the hairiest tail and Maia has the shortest. This Sunday Smile highlights Rana’s built-in fly swatter–longer than Maia’s and growing more hair all the time!
