Elephants are some of the most amazing creatures on the planet. These gentle giants are known for their amazing memories, but they are so much more dynamic than that. Elephants are highly emotional and care for one another in a similar way that humans do. They’re also extremely intelligent and can recognize themselves in mirrors and complete complex puzzles. Unfortunately, all of these amazing traits do not protect this species from the real and imminent threat of poachers.
In Thailand, elephants are the common targets of the tourism industry where they are forced to work nonstop carrying people on their back and performing tricks. Luckily, places like Elephant Nature Park exist to provide a safe haven for elephants rescued from this life.
Sriprae the amazing elephant in this video was rescued by this incredible organization after she stepped on a landmine and lost part of her foot. To help this injury heal and not get infected, the wound has to be cleaned daily. Sriprae has made it a daily ritual to clean her foot all on her own! Her caretakers explain on Facebook that they didn’t even teach her how to do this – she learned it all on her own!
