Here, Guillermina is leading Bambi, Rana, and Mara to the barn and you can see the difference between Guille’s speed and what Scott lovingly calls the “grandma speed” of the other ladies. Rana is walking with a giant smile and a giant pile of hay in her nose – but she knows Bambi well and, when Bambi leans near to try to grab a bite, Rana quickly shifts her hay to the other side, where Bambi can’t reach it.
This is just a simple moment captured that both makes us smile and also shows the comfort level growing among the newer and more long-standing resident elephants at the sanctuary. Relaxed energy is a positive thing.

July 5, 2022 at 11:40 amI just love this. Guille certainly is a fast girl but she’s also much younger. I love Rana taking her snack with her also the way she moves it out of Bambi’s reach is brilliant. Great post thank you. ❤️❤️

July 5, 2022 at 12:21 pmIt’s so wonderful to see these bonds forming between Guillermina and the older girls! It looks like Pocha is not a part of the trek — Are P&G getting more comfortable being apart for extended periods? I’d love to hear how their choices of activities may be individualizing …

July 5, 2022 at 12:28 pmWe’ll be sharing more about their individual journeys soon. But they are both integrating into the group really well at this point.

July 5, 2022 at 4:23 pmWhy does Rana throw her left front leg out off to the left when she walks? So good to see them all together
Sara says
July 5, 2022 at 4:50 pmRana has an old injury to her wrist that occurred when she was younger (prior to sanctuary). She adapted early on and it doesn’t seem to bother her.

July 5, 2022 at 6:35 pmYou are right, this is a smile-inducer! Also good for practicing identification of Ellies, these four anyway.

July 5, 2022 at 6:57 pmOh my god, the little “thing” between Bambi and Rana was priceless, and precious!
Kristina says
July 5, 2022 at 6:59 pmRana seems to swing wide her front left leg, not bending it. She has knee issues?
She was too quick for Bambi with the hay!

July 6, 2022 at 8:26 amDo you know the height, in feet and inches, of all the elephants. I would love to know that.
Sara says
July 6, 2022 at 10:37 amI’m sorry – we don’t have that information.
