Come, Mrs. Elly-mom, Peel Me a Banana

Just how attentive is Lek, the main caregiver at Elephant Nature Park? She’ll even peel your bananas for you. She’ll peel any amount, too — six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch, no problem.

    Best cuddle puddle ever! I now want to put trunks on all my cats, just for the nuzzling potential.

    Also NOMTOM has surpassed himself with this headline.

      Agree about NTMTOM!😄
      Are elephants unable to eat bananas without peeling? Or is this just a favor for the favorite ones?

        I’m guessing they eat the skins too, but probably can’t taste the nana-y flavor unless the skin has a least a tear in it.

    I’m always amazed by how gentle elephant can be for their size.

    It’s a banana party!

    And speaking of fruit, anyone up for fresh raspberries? If so, might want to get them before this pup eats them all.

    Whoops, wrong link, sorry!

      I love how he looks up at the person after each berry.

        Bibi looks at me like that when she eats a piece of kibble. But it always looks sarcastic to me. Maybe because the chewing is So Big and Deliberate.

        Raspberry puppy is dee-lightful! Thanks for trying again, Lupislight!

        I think the pup is very delighted by the taste of each raspberry.

          Can’t say I blame him. We had a raspberry bush in the backyard when I was a kid. Didn’t get a ton of berries but I’d get a handful here and there through the summer.

      Awwww. First elly phants and now puppers, I’m totally mush now.
