Sunday Smile: Guille’s Backside

October 13, 2024

This week’s Sunday Smile shows off one of Guillermina’s good sides. (Note: they’re all her good side!) You can see that she’s standing next to a tree that has some bark peeled off. Guille did part of that herself; there are marks where she used her tush to strip the bark – something Asian elephants don’t often do. The bark has also been worn down in some areas by elephants scratching their bodies against the tree.

    I do love that photograph! It looks like a Victorian painting to me. So beautiful the colours. 💚🐘

    Is this the famous itchy scratchy tree? Or did Guille find another?
