Video: Maia Enjoys Her Snack

July 6, 2021

Maia is moving quickly toward a snack that’s been placed for her in the habitat. She can be quite a fast eater when she wants to be – as you can see! It’s just another peaceful moment at sanctuary, watching Maia flutter her ears as the birds sing around her.

    Watching that I imagined Miss Guida was by her side sharing the snacks and flapping her ears right along with her sister. ❤💜

    Do they know where the snacks ate put or is it a game of hunt and eat to keep their minds active???

      They are not always in the same place. We want them to have to go looking for their extra food so they get a little exercise.

    I know in the wild male elephants go out on their own

    But does that mean a male elephant can never live in a sanctuary

    How can the sanctuary female reproduce if there are no male elephants from which they can mate

    Is artificial insemination done

      We have plans to bring male elephants to sanctuary, though they will not live with the females. They will have their own habitat. Most of our elephants are geriatric and it wouldn’t be appropriate for them to mate. We are against breeding in captivity.
