everyone is thinking these elephants are adorable, and they are- but they are orphaned by poachers, and probably traumatized emotionally from losing their mother and their elders in their herd. Why don't the governments of these countries do something serious to relieve the poaching problem?
@lexmark136 they are teaching the babies to throw mud on themselves. this is what elephants do in the wild to prevent sunburn. without mothers, no one would teach them this so the humans have to teach them.
Hey MYLANNZ, thanks for your message. That is so sad to hear about those elephants. I didn't get the names of the ones in our group but we were there in Mid-September so I hate to say it probably was them....
You're welcome. Yeah, we posted it for our friends/family but glad it was helpful. If you're heading to Marrakech, make sure to eat at the ChezGrooney (not sure on the spelling). The food is excellent and there's a great view of the square from the top floor. As soon as I get a good internet connection, I'm going to post a video of a moped ride through the souks of Marrakech. It was incredible. You'll love Riad Aya and Maria and Abdul Latiffe, the two staff...
