Sunday Smile: Rana’s Been in the Mud

March 8, 2026

If you’ve been following the elephants at Elephant Sanctuary Brazil lately, you’ve seen how excited they can get when they’re in the pond. Even the “grandmas” of the group have proven themselves to be spunky when it comes to swimming time. This week’s Sunday Smile shows Rana, who had spent the morning submerged in the Yard 4 pond. She was as muddy as could be and seemed pretty content.
