Let’s see how happy and healthy Chaba became after 22 days arrival at ENP 🥰🥰- EleFlix 

Her fuzzy little head makes me so happy🥰

I was thinking the same thing. I don't know why, but it's just so precious.

i was going to write that but you did first are so I just like 👍your comment 😅

bunma has stopped swaying her head, and rarely tests a chain on her leg... so much more relaxed and her weight has improved! all good! chaba is thriving!

See the newest video, she now has nanny Sri Nuan to help out, and both she and her mother are doing very well. :)

Rose M. has encouraged me to share with everyone my newly compiled ENP playlist link, so you all can see Lek's interviews, more about ENP and the elephants, about Lek's Save Elephant Foundation projects in the larger region. Additionally, it has videos that show their intelligence, their love of play and family, and their little ones being so very cute. It can benefit longtime and new viewers alike. :) ru-vid.com/group/PLFEITHFwj_JVq2kFWMIIR3IsZubQtBgA6

Hello Rose, I replied to your stand-alone comment at Disc. page, but no new reply to mine shows. I checked them all, very carefully, twice.

@@cacatr4495 This is crazy...I wrote several comments and went back through and 're-thumbs up' your previous comments. I will check back there tonight. Chaba's care taker seems kind...that's all I can think about....their being kind, patient and gentle with these rescued lives. And I'm enjoying your Playlists... I hope many continue to view them. They're important CA. 💜👍🏽

@@roseM. I see your thumbs-up that you went back and added, I see all but your "hello friend" comment and your newest reply that you said you left, that doesn't show. I'm glad you're enjoying the playlists; there's good, happy energy there, and peaceful too. :) I'm glad their caretaker seems kind, gentle, that's important. :)

@@cacatr4495 Same here…RU-vid must be having a glitch!

She’s burning a lot of calories nursing her baby, might take more time to put on weight. I’m so happy her mental state is dramatically improved and her baby is doing awesome!!

Bit by bit, she is gaining weight. If one compares to her rescue video, there is a visible difference in her weight. :) She's eating a great deal, and nursing with great flow now, such that they're both feeding very well.

SO DARN CUTE!! 💜 🐘 💜

Are they still in quarantine? I wonder how long that lasts.

This video was originally posted to their FB page on the 27 of Aug. On Aug. 30, they announced that Bunma now has a nanny, the expert Sri Nuan. We will soon be seeing that video here, and we can see there that Bunma responded quickly to Sri Nuan's calming presence and care of Chaba, by trusting her enough to walk a little distance away to explore the field by herself. She's even more relaxed, having the loving yet serious attention of Sri Nuan for her Chaba, and they said she's nursing with great flow, so Chaba is very well-fed now, and Bunma is eating a great deal. :) :) SO Good! Another BIG plus is that they've been walking her and Chaba in the early evenings when everyone else is eating dinner and tucked in for the night, even the dogs, so that the twilight fields were serene, empty and oh, so peaceful, as they showed her the land. This has met a BIG need for Bunma, the need to walk (which elephants do a great deal in the Wild and are designed for, having a powerful drive to walk and walk, which the chains of her past didn't allow), plus the fact that she has youthful energy to express/release, so all those evening walks have done her a world of good, such that her standing-eating sessions are now without all the past constant movements. Her needs are being met, and we can see joy on her face. :) :) She has entered her THRIVING life! :) :) For those having difficulty finding Lucy's petition, it is linked at her web-page which is leapforlucy.com Please, everyone, please sign it, Lucy needs to be at a warm sanctuary with the grass under her feet, able to rub herself on trees and swim freely, and be around other elephants, which she has NOT been since she was two years old, when she was captured from the Wild, which means she saw the captors kill her mother and family. She is now 46 years old, and barely has any contact with nature at all. Again, she has not been around another elephant for 44 years of her life, she's been completely isolated, kept in a tiny concrete cell, not able to even be outside under warm sunshine for most of the year, due to the cold climate where they have her. She needs warmth, other elephants and a natural life. Captivity has caused health ailments, she's in pain, she's under great stress and depressed, sad, lonely, and it is serious that she be released to a warm elephant sanctuary. That petition link is in a smaller rectangular image in the lower half of her web-page, one that has on it, in Red, the words '44 YEARS'. Click on that, and it will take you to her petition page. Please share. ~ One of the best ways we can support Lek's lifesaving efforts is to support Lek's Trunks Up program food bank. We can praise Lek's work all day long, but making that support real is what makes a difference. We need to remember that if Lek had not rescued Bunma and Chaba, that Chaba would have been one of those to succumb. Please share. jointrunksup.org/foodbank

@@cacatr4495 Thanks so much for the info! I just watched a video of them walking…commented how well they were looking and seemed to be enjoying the walk. 🤗

@@cacatr4495 Thanks for the update!! Sri Nuan is legendary!! So glad Bunma and Chaba accepted her. Now I gotta go watch the video!! 👍

CA Catr Your comment is epic awesome sauce! So full of important and vital information. I can’t thank you enough for providing it! God bless you!

Yes, she's very relaxed, and enjoying her life now. She knows she's free. She's still adapting to that, of course, and changing her mental state and habits, but she knows, and she's truly loving it. That leg/foot has to feel so light now, without that chain of the past. (Sometimes it is easier for animals to move into the present, than the people that love them. There are people that will rescue a dog and continue to feel badly for that dog for years, all the while the dog is actually moved on, and enjoying their life. We know it's only been about a month now for her, but she's showing her resiliency, and she's a joy to behold!)

This is normal behaviour with the front foot swaying. Many of them use the foot to scrape food while eating.

@@bari2883 I think some of that is testing her freedom. She doesn't actually paw at the ground, and she moves it up and down. She has a lot of trauma to heal from but is in the perfect place to do it ❤❤❤

Yes testing for chain Getting better and better

Probably a habit even though she now knows the chain is GONE! She seems to be adjusting quickly AND appreciatively though! 💖

This isn't intended as criticism but I wonder if the staff (NOT Lek) is allowed much interaction with the ellies. I absolutely appreciate the care they give them but other channels I watch, the staff shows unbelivable affection & tenderness toward the ellies. Seeing it plays my heary strings like a harp. These wonderful people seem to handle it more as a job though. There may be a logical reason but I don't know what.

@@vblackwell3347 Lek mentioned in the future she wanted the park to have no human interaction, that they could be observed from a distance. To increase a natural existence. So, they may have a policy. I dunno.

@@vblackwell3347 Just conscious being on camera.They know that the viewers are there for the elephants and they're trying not to be noticed. I'm Asian so I suspect they also didn't want to show emotion on camera and also be camera hogs.

I feel the same! So happy to see Bunma healing from her past and learning to trust the caretakers with her baby. What a forgiving species ele’s are!

@@sueinraleigh3091 they are aren't they? Gentle with each other too. They share food together not fighting over it like other mammals. I wish all ellies were able to live free.

Me too! Happy dreams ✨🌙

Right? Bunma is healing incredibly well! So glad she trusts the caretakers with her baby!

I meant Bunma

Yes, all elephants belong to God, and He has much to say about their treatment to those who bother to listen.

She was chained prior to being rescued as most captive ellies are. It will take her time to realize that' the chain is "broken". It's conditioning right now.

Lek, the founder of ENP, provides toys at the right stage of development. :)

Yes!! Very confident and a zest for life! Love it!!

Little Chaba does have a nanny now -- the legendary Sri Nuan. This video is about a week old. They announced on Facebook on August 30 that Sri Nuan had been accepted by Bunma to be Chaba's nanny!
