Maia’s Big Bites

Maia is known as a hearty eater who never misses the chance for a snack. Many days, she likes to be around Bambi, Mara, and Rana during mealtimes, but on this particular day, she was particularly relaxed and on her own, as she likes to be from time-to-time. 

She enjoys a Maia-sized bite of hay and then takes her time chewing and enjoying her afternoon to herself.

    Can an elephant choke or does the way their throat is constructed prevent that? She didn’t look in danger of doing that. I was just wondering. She looked like she was happily falling asleep.

      Theoretically, yes they could. But it’s not something we’ve experienced and she was in no danger.

    Looking at peaceful Maia is influencing me to do the same with my dinner later – I feel a picnic coming…☺️

    Good for her enjoying her day enjoying her food doesn’t get much better than that except of course a bigger family soon for her to be part of 💞

    A PERFECT, PERFECT video of peace and tranquility at GSE. Lush greens , blue sky, sunshine, and beautiful Maia munching away on her own sweet elephant time.

    I bet Maia is thinking, “yeah it’s about time I got some camera time. P & G have really been hogging it.”
