Is it a good organization?
I’m thinking about adopting an elephant for my girlfriend.
It says you get monthly updates. Are those general updates about the organization or do you get updates on the specific animal you adopted?
Edit: Thank you guys! I adopted a cute little boy for my girlfriend.❤️
Hey everybody. This month marks 10 years since I started /r/babyelephantgifs after seeing the reception to a post I made over in /r/gifs. I know this subreddit isn't as active as it once was. The world has changed, reddit has changed, life has happened, and many of us have moved on.
That said, /r/babyelephantgifs is still here (numbering 1.3 million strong!) and it turns out that baby elephants are still remarkably cute. Here's a look back at some of my favorite gifs from the last 10 years.

And the gif that started it all: Can someone please stop the ride, I'd like to get off
Cheers to another 10 years :)
