Some mornings, there’s not much for elephants or people to say–and that’s okay. Instead, it’s best to let nature speak for itself. There are certain days that should be met with bird songs and rain falling on the trees, rather than our own personal commotion. In this video, Scott softly greeted Rana (left) and Mara (right) as they came to the fence line awaiting their breakfast and perhaps a quick hello. They were relaxed, but seemed more interested in their morning meal than in vocalizing. 

Sometimes elephants just want to share quiet moments with their companions and their caregivers. Those times together are just as special as the ones when the elephants are vocal and rumbling and squeaking–if not more so. Currently, we’re lucky enough to have five amazing elephants share their lives and their emotions with us. The only expectations we set are for ourselves and what we owe these girls. Otherwise, we celebrate the gentler times when everyone seems content, easygoing, and bright-eyed.
