Mundi remains completely unfazed by Bo’s scratching antics and keeps right on grazing. #Elephant #Elephants

The rains down in Georgia finally filled the Migratory Bird Pond, and Bo wasted no time wading through it. #Elephant #Elephants

Yesterday, on the day Carol was born, the Trio got together under one of their favorite trees, Bo, Tarra, and Mundi choosing to be close. The timing felt especially meaningful, a quiet little birthday nod to Carol from the elephants themselves. #Elephant #Elephants

Mundi and Bo feast on one of their favorite snacks, fresh bamboo.

Trio puddle time. #Elephant #Elephants

Mundi was enjoying the pond before Friday, and Saturday’s rains brought a good soaking to the Refuge. The ponds, puddles, and wallows got a much-needed refill. #Elephant #Elephants

Big Bo makes the most of a vanishing puddle. We’re thrilled that the next two days should bring much-needed rain, helping replenish the puddles, ponds, and wallows across the Refuge. #Elephant #Elephants

Bo and his feathered friends, two mourning doves. Mourning doves don’t follow elephants the way cattle egrets sometimes do, but they benefit from the open habitat and seed-rich ground our elephants help create. #Elephant #Elephants

Mundi slathers herself in mud at the Migratory Bird Pond, while two feathered friends keep watch nearby. #Elephant #Elephants

Bark stripping is a natural foraging behavior observed in both African and Asian elephants, though it is especially common in African elephants like Mundi. The inner bark and cambium layer are softer, more nutritious, and often sweeter than the rough outer bark. #Elephant

Mundi decides Bo’s hay hat is quite big enough already.

Belly scratches, elephant style! #Elephant #Elephants

Bo living his best life! #Elephant #Elephants

Mundi outplays Tarra and Bo and keeps possession of her hay. #Elephant #Elephants

Have hay, will travel. #Elephant #Elephants
