We have heard several points about elephants — that they are gentle giants, that they can be a human’s ideal buddy and that they are terrific listeners. When it comes to listening, it really is not their large ears that assistance considerably but their feet that choose the rumblings and vibrations from more than and in some cases beneath the ground. Earlier, this week, Lek Chailert, founder of the Elephant Nature Park and the Save Elephant Foundation, shared a video on Instagram of 3 elephants at the Elephant Nature Park.
On a vibrant sunny day, the meals is lying on the ground and one of the 3 elephants is consuming it. However, Chana, an elephant, it seems, does not want to leave Ploy Thong, her adopted nanny, behind. Ploy Thong is “blind in both eyes”, the video description stated. In the video, Chana is seen assisting Thong trace the meals on the ground by walking backwards, facing her buddy. Thong followed maybe the sound of Chana’s feet to sense exactly where the meals was.
In her post, Lek, who is also the founder of the Elephant Nature Park, drew people’s focus to Chana’s type gesture as she led her nanny towards the meals. “Look how Chana leads Ploy Thong, her adopted nanny, who is both eyes blind, toward food,” she wrote, adding that seeing them take care of every other each and every day she found the lovely side of the elephant. “A lesson for us all,” she concluded.
And the lovely video overwhelmed lots of, some of whom commented to know a tiny more about them. An Instagram user @smitten_kitten1, for instance, wondered how lengthy it took the other elephants to figure out that Ploy Thong was blind? “Why is she blind?”
Ms Chailert responded saying that Thong worked at an elephant riding camp and she was currently visually challenged at the time of rescue. The Thai actor added that the elephant continued to work regardless of getting visually challenged. “The story behind both eyes blind was unclear as people can say anything, but only Ploy Thong knows the truth of who/what made her blind,” Ms Chailert stated.
Another user, Lori Sager, stated that the sight of elephants assisting every other was remarkable and “every day, I am more amazed at their intelligence and compassion/care for one another.”
