At The Sanctuary, our Care Staff seize every opportunity to celebrate the elephants and provide them with something special. Recently, they went all out for Valentine’s Day, or as some may call it, “Galentine’s” - a celebration of the "gals" or cherished friendships in your life! At Asia Habitat, Nosey and Edie kicked off the special celebration with a large red ball appropriately labeled with a "Happy Galentine’s Day" message. The ball was filled with bamboo and hay, accompanied by a delightful array of pink, purple, and red fruits like beets, watermelon, and strawberries scattered about their habitat. This extravagant, colorful meal marked a significant moment for the duo, sharing such a feast for the first time. Nosey, known for her patience, graciously allowed Edie to partake in the festivities first, unsure if Edie would like to share. Once Edie was content, Nosey joined in, and the two munched away together, finishing off the bamboo first and saving the sweet fruits for last.
