I am watching this with a big smile on my face. I enjoys watching they eating, because they eat elegantly with a seemingly grin on their face”cheeks”, that reminded me of my late grandparents.

Another bull will be arriving at the sanctuary soon, and maybe they'll be able to share each others company, but until then, as a bull he lives alone, visiting at habitat perimeters to socialize with the female elephants, since The Elephant Sanctuary doesn't breed baby elephants into captivity. Bulls don't have the same social needs as the females, and as such they enjoy doing their own thing, having very independent minds.
he is a male and in the wild most males live solitary lives or a bachelor herd. It is hoped when Tonka comes later this year that the 2 of them will be able to cohabitate but the depends entirely on them and how they get along if they do
