September 21, 2021 at 6:53 pmPatience and respect for mom and daughter! Here’s hoping all goes smoothly so they can be safely transported to their forever home at ESB!

September 21, 2021 at 7:24 pmBless these wonderfully patient and wise humans helping P&G find their way to the sanctuary. Tamy will be next..we hope and pray.
Sara says
September 21, 2021 at 7:30 pmWe are lucky to have such wonderful staff working with Pocha and Guillermina. Kenya will be next, since her habitat is already finished. We don’t have the permits to begin building Tamy’s habitat yet. But there are many good things to come!

September 21, 2021 at 8:17 pmVery nicely done !!!!! Hopefully by the end of October , GSE will have two NEW residents?????
Meantime, for the 5-6? day drive from Mendoza to GSE, I would hope that the food is being calculated, like 500? apples, 25 watermelons, 50 mangos? 200? bananas? a couple of semi trailer trucks full of grasses, and hay, maybe 5-10 tons? , and 500-1,000 gallons of water? Does that list get close to what the trip will need to feed Pocha and Guillermina?
Kat Blais says
September 22, 2021 at 11:43 amwhen they arrive is up to them. the trip is 4-5 days and is calculated from their current diet. they will need two different loads of food, since food cannot cross from Argentina into Brazil. there are several water tanks that are refilled at each stop. they only eat a few bales of hay each day, fresh fodder will also be picked up along the way.
Katie Howard says
September 21, 2021 at 8:55 pmPhenomenal work! I am so proud of GSE for making this be about the elephants’ comfort. Pocha and Guillermina will be comfortable when they decide it’s time…and we just Have. To. Wait ❤️ 🐘🐘 ❤️

September 22, 2021 at 6:05 amIngo is so so awesome! Loved this video so much! So many interesting facts and we could see the girls!! We are all so impatient only because we know what a paradise awaits them! I even worry how poor Guille will react to all that space! Smells! Peace! Horizon! Sunsets!…not to mention that soft ground, grasses, and bushes and trees and strange sounds…it will be truly a new, strange world…I so hope it will be soon….like this month soon!…lol…but if not, if they still not ready, so be it….It will be all on their time..:-))) Thank you for that footage..:-) Very grateful for all your communication…xoxoxox

September 24, 2021 at 5:27 pmI bet those girls are learning to adore Ingo. He was great.

September 25, 2021 at 4:28 pmTruly truly amazing work with these beautiful elephants, Pocha & Guillermina. Such patience and understanding for what they need and letting them lead what happens in their own time. Thank you Ingo and all the team. It’s wonderful seeing Pocha & Guille explore the crates. I wonder how they’ll react, especially Guille, when the door is closed behind and they can’t choose to come out again for a few days. Will you practise closing the doors for periods of time before departure? Unbelievably fantastic work you’re all doing. Just amazing 💕💖🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🌱💜
Thank you 🙏🏼
