Day 26 - Random Love Month - Elephants
Feb. 26th, 2019 08:28 am
I have loved elephants since I was a wee little girl. They are such glorious creatures. I remember having a Babar puzzle as a child and loving so much that I put it together over and over and over.

I also remember a tv show that came on when I was a kid that had an Indian boy named Raji - It was on for only 1 season but it was called Maya - I think that was the elephant's name. I loved her! (and Raji)

Elephants are endangered by awful people who STILL kill them for ivory. They are long lived animals with a great intelligence and they have been abused in captivity to the point that they go mad. There are refuges for them, where former performing and zoo elephants finally have a home to live in nature like they were meant. One thing that is nice in my state is our zoo is a habitat zoo with elephants in a huge pasture much as the refuge ones are.
If you want to help elephants, consider donating to an elephant refuge. This one is in Tennessee: https://www.elephants.com/ They have some elephants cams on the site and bios of the residents. Hop over and read about them.
