Happy as an elephant in mud

Ton Oi is never happier than when rolling around/or sleeping, in a super wet muddy pool.

At Hidden Forest Elephant Reserve in Phuket, Thailand are elephants are given the space to exhibit natural behaviour and yes, this also means time to splash in the mud.

Why is this elephant grasping a rock with its trunk when sucking up water?

It had been doing for a few trunkfulls at this point. My only guess is that it helps prevent sediment getting sucked up as well?

Volunteers Needed for Citizen Science Elephant Project

If this is not allowed please delete.

Hi everyone,

I built a zooniverse project as part of my graduate studies. It involves classifying body parts of elephants. Zooniverse is an online platform in which anyone can make an account for free and contribute to science projects.

I am looking for some volunteers to test my project before it goes live. It should take 45 minutes to go on the platform and do the tasks. Here is a link to the project: https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/globallyconnectedconservation/asian-elephant-identification/classify *Please make a Zooniverse account FIRST if you decide to contribute!

Then, I’ll ask you to complete a survey about how useful you found the tutorial and field guide. This will take 5 minutes.

Your work will contribute to the research being done for Asian Elephant Conservation in Thailand.

Please comment on this thread if you are interested in volunteering, thank you!

In 2013, our teams saved Mudanda's life, after finding her orphaned in Tsavo. Raised and rewilded, last week she returned 'home', and as the first rays of sun heralded a new day, we celebrated a new life! Baby Miale, the Swahili for 'rays', is a perfect little bundle and Mudanda's first calf.

Did you know that you could knock over a drugged elephant by pulling its tail? Humorous part of yet another incredible elephant save by Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
