The Good Stuff – World Elephant Day

August 12, 2015 by still a dreamer

Today is World Elephant Day, and I wanted to share with you two things – a wonderful video of a baby elephant in a protected nature preserve for rescued elephants in Thailand;  she finds a long piece of ribbon and plays with it. It’s enchanting – she’s just like any other little kid, (she’s 5 years old), with a new toy …

And the rescue of a humpback whale who was saved by a group of researchers out on their boat. They came across her so entangled by discarded fishing net that she is slowly drowning. One of the men swims out to her to let her know that they’re there to help. Ultimately, when she seems to know they are freeing her, she patiently stays alongside their boat as they cut her free, and then she shows them what freedom really is.

There is much sadness in the world as to how man treats his animal brethren, but it is always so wonderful to watch him rise above. Thanks to the people who take such good care of these elephants and the individuals who freed this magnificent creature and saved her life.

    Thanks for sharing, Jeanne. Loved both videos, however, was touched to tears with the saving of the whale. WOW!

      I’m so glad you enjoyed them. They took a big chance in what they did, but whales, being among the most highly intelligent of all mammals, figured it out and let them help her. I was moved to tears as well.

      Babies are babies, whatever the species,and animals feel gratitude, too.
