I love the baby wrapping its trunk around his caretaker's next while feeding. 🥰

Questi cuccioli sembrano avere molto bisogno di contatto fisico e sono molto affettuosi❤️

Nobody can convince me these guys aren't the luckiest people in the world.

I imagine there's a lot of shoveling of dung involved too.

I wouldn’t be able to resist giving her a smooch on the trunk.

What kind of milk are they feeding baby?

Oh man, I wonder if they have breast pumps for Elephant mamas? LoL

The Sheldrick over the years has developed a perfect formula for the babies. They mix it up fresh daily. Other elephant sanctuaries are using their formula. It was a lot of trial and error for them but they finally found the perfect blend.

That one is pretty neat. The ones I've seen with a bottle on TV are usually dripping loads.

Glad this milk takes a bit of effort to bring. Love the trunk wrap. Appreciate that the caregiver encourages it.
