The Art of Plopping a Too Heavy Trunk ?

 

Rana

Morning treatment time with Rana and Maia frequently finds them sleepy. They usually eat breakfast right before treatment, so treatment occurs in the brief food coma window.

On their sleepiest (or silliest) mornings, they will act like their trunks are too big and heavy to hold up. They will plop their trunk on the middle bar, somewhat dramatically, for a few moments (or minutes) before getting in the final position for treatment. We mention this in posts sometimes, usually about Maia, but sometimes Rana does it as well. We don’t think we’ve ever posted a picture of what they look like when they look as if their trunks are too heavy to hold up, so we snapped this one the other day.

    This is a t-shirt waiting to happen! This pic of Rana (or a stylized version) with the caption “The Art of Plopping.” I would buy it for sure! I think we elephant people are all relaxers (ploppers)!

    Adorable. The bar is just the right height to support a heavy trunk so may as well make use of the facilities! LOL!
