    I just love heffalumps. They are so magnificant but at the same time, remind me of giant puppies. And the Sheldrick Trust has angels walking among us that take of them.

      Truly! Sheldrick Trust is amazing! Despite the heat🥵 that has got to be the best job ever!

        I seriously would move to Kenya to become a carer if it weren’t for the heat.

          Have you ever watched the 2019 movie Holiday in the Wild with Rob Lowe and Kristin Davis? It takes place on an elephant preserve where she visits.
          I really liked all that it showed about living on a preserve. It really is pretty good and on Netflix right now.

    What a lovely way to end the day. I know we often say we are jealous of this animal keeper or that one, but I really do envy these guys.
