The herd huddles in their quarters before another round of rides...Oh, joy... Elephant sarcasm

Mother Pahti taking us for our maiden elephant voyage... A BUMP.Y. Ride. SheEEEeesh

Queens being transported like it once was done...sidenote: the trainer is with his elephant for the elephants life. He must be present when they are captured to establish the bond that will be their livelihood.

That's like another world. I never even imagined a park completely dedicated to elephants. Very cool experience.
