Hot Days. Cool Nights.

Lady and Bambi

It’s still sweltering here, and none of the elephants seem very motivated to do much of anything during the day, aside from bathing and napping. They are generally much more active at night when things cool off significantly.

Yesterday morning, after a day and a half with Rana and Mara, Maia was back in Yard 5, near the common fence shared with Yard 1. Bambi spent much of the day in Yard 1. The two spent a lot of time close, but we didn’t see touching. They seem outwardly interested in each other.

Lady is still observing Bambi through the fence. Those two don’t seem as outwardly interested in each other as Bambi and Maia are. Nevertheless, we know Lady is intrigued by the new arrival because we will see her walk away and then return to check out Bambi. She is staying at a “Lady Distance,” and periodically napping in the shade between bouts of observing Bambi. Bambi seems content watching Lady back from a distance.

Mara and Rana still seem very settled at the pond in Yard 4. At this point, we wonder if they will still stay there until the rains come. If they do, Bambi may have a long wait to meet those two, as there is still no rain in our forecast.

      Always anxious to get news from ESB! Thank you for updates. In my mind’s “eye”, I imagine what the girls are up to. I can just see Lady casually looking toward Bambi.

    Staying cool and relaxed is a perfect attitude with hot weather. Must be exciting how the couples will form in the future. Hope the rains will come soon. Stay safe. ?

    I’m asking the elephant Gods to send RAIN and to turn down the temperature to allow nature to grown and flourish along with all the other living, breathing creatures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    Let’s all do a rain dance!!! I am looking out of my window at a heavy downpour. We have had so much rain over the last few days here in the UK and much more to come. It doesn’t seem fair that we can’t share it! I wish I could pack it up and post it to you so that ellies and humans and all the sanctuary wildlife can enjoy it!! LOL!
