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.

May 18, 2022 at 3:11 pmCan 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.

May 18, 2022 at 5:25 pmTheoretically, yes they could. But it’s not something we’ve experienced and she was in no danger.
