Do the orphans try to play with their Keepers?
Generally speaking, our Keepers play parent rather than playmate. They're there to feed, comfort, guide and supervise, not to wrestle. Think a finger to suckle on, or a calf resting their trunk on a familiar shoulder. When the orphans want to push and shove, they do it with each other. That's how a calf learns to be an elephant.
That being said, some characters are have such a joie de vivre that every interaction turns into play, Toto, for instance, liked to try and climb onto his Keepers and Bondeni would play chase with Peter!
Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.
Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.
Mud isn't optional for an elephant. It cools the skin in the heat, blocks the sun and keeps the biting insects off.
A wild calf would learn it from the older females in her herd, but Kaikai is an orphan, so she's learning it from her Keepers and the other orphans in our care. She's determined that she's not the only one to get muddy either – a flick of the ear gets the Keeper filming this sprayed with mud!
Kaikai just turned one and has years of bottles, Keepers and bush school ahead before she's ready for a wild herd of her own.
Adopting Kaikai helps fund that journey: https://t.co/kDln4jg4mO
Ken Paxton let a pedophile back on our streets.
Adam Hoffman—an admitted child molester—should have gotten life in prison, but Paxton gave him an Epstein-style sweetheart deal.
Today I’m calling on Paxton to release the Hoffman Files.
The Epstein Class has no place in Texas.
