The scientists studying these elephants have hypothesized that they are under habitat stress. This is why they are utterly exhausted after taking a long journey to look for food and shelter in a place not over populated by humans. The Chinese were documenting them and making sure they survive but still pretty eye opening.
So modern society is stressful even to elephants. Great.
c/awww,waitnooooo
Yay, humans
The little one tucked between the others. 🥰
Tiniest one's just trying to get some non-fart air. Momma, helllp.
Pachygaea.
Heck yeah, there's an elephant community!
TIL elephants sleep lying down.
AFAIK, they dont usually unless they are utterly exhausted.
Wait until you find out how often they get visited by the tooth fairy (not the ivory hunters)
I wonder if elephants have bed time stories about tooth fairies that come and steal your teeth
I'm so glad my first assumption was wrong
