Elephant Lovers

Elephants are sentient beings, not to be poached, abused nor to entertain us. They are worthy to live their own lives free, not in cramped captivity.

Rana has such a sweet face! She might be our oldest elephant; we guess she is 65 years old (or older)!

We hope you all have a lovely weekend.

There’s a tasty kind of grass that’s growing very tall right now almost all over the property. Here, Maia is showing exactly how to make a giant mouthful disappear.

@BuildingOurZoo is killing Lucy by keeping her in isolation,never allowing her to roam to get the much needed exercise to take some pounds of her arthritic limbs, she stands & sleeps on a cement slab which is awful for elephants feet & limbs,& her air filtration is Null & Void.

Juvenile females learn vital mothering skills by taking care of younger calves. This babysitting behavior is known as allomothering. Such care-taking provides these girls with an array of mothering experiences that persist until they give birth to their own first calf.

According to Loro Parque, wild orcas only travel far when they are "forced to" in search of food. So instead of foraging, navigating, socializing and swimming freely, the orcas at Loro Parque are trained to perform circus-like shows in a concrete stadium: https://t.co/1oI656nGw1

#Didyouknow baby Bani eats up to 11kgs of banana each day?

Bananas are baby Bani's favourite treats, and our dedicated caregivers ensure she gets plenty of them.
Our goal is to create a joy-filled environment for Bani; a secure, stress-free atmosphere where she feels safe and cared for.

After weeks, her personality is finally showing as Bani’s trumpets can be heard all across the elephant hospital if her caregivers pause ‘banana-time’ even for a second!
Bani was rendered paralysed in her hind limbs from an accident with a speeding train. Protect India’s wildlife from speeding trains by signing our petition.

Each signature is extremely valuable to us https://t.co/5893CHNFvn

Rana has such a cheeky smile in this photo. It's really befitting of her, as she is so sweet. 💚

Rana's Eleguardians saw this photo first in the April newsletter. Interested in adopting Rana or one of the other elephants at ESB? Learn more here: https://t.co/xcQ7EKUnn3

Amazing allomother Kumbura has been lavishing all her love and attention on the newest baby in the herd, Phabeni. This does mean that she tends less to Khanyisa and has somewhat signalled to the 4-year-old she helped raise that the newest calf in the family now needs her more.

Happy Mother's Day!

Today also marks two years since Pocha and Guillermina walked onto sanctuary ground for the first time. It's such a beautiful day to remember these two.

Pocha was a wonderful mother -- patient and sweet. She made sure Guille was on the track to healing. 💚

“Integrity is choosing courage over comfort; choosing what is right over what is making you $.
Choosing to practice your values rather than simply possessing them”

The reports are in 2022 Lucy can relocate to sanctuary
@CityofEdmonton are you not reading them or believing them ?
