They protect their own family members.. they will listen to u when u treat them well... the things that i learnt in ENP are just so much and so amazing :)















This is Max and Medo.. e 'old couple' of e park:) Acutally Medo suffered a dislocated spine and broken pelvis from e mistreatment by previous owner... so its really quite touching to see how Max always taking care of Medo:)














This is Malai Tong... u see hes always swinging his backleg? Actually hes a landmine victim... hes backleg got blown off while he step on e mine.. yeah so hes never get to walk properly again...

This is Hope! My favourtie elephant... hes aso e teenage elephant that never gone through e pajaan(seperation of baby elephant from its mum to torture them so they will listen to human).. Hes very mischevious.. he played hide and seek with his mahout!
