Well, hello elephants!

What an amazing day at the Elephant Nature Park, a sanctuary for elephants injured or abandoned. We met an elephant that was blinded when her owner shot slingshots at her eyes when she refused to work anymore (she was a logging elephant). Two others who had stepped on landmines and whose legs became injured. The park rehabilitates the elephants and invites people to come feed and bathe the elephants. So, we fed elephants bananas (HUGE bunches of bananas) and pineapples, squash, and other foods (they are vegetarians). Did you know elephants eat ~500 pounds of food a day?! Yeow!
