gotta love an elephant. That lucky woman in this video . I feel deprived that I never got the chance to walk along side such a magnificant elephant. I could just kiss them all over!!!!! But I question as to how she contracted T.B. in the first place. I'm glad she's OK now.
@ThePowerofElephants Their weights can fluctuate a little. Caregivers can adjust their diet accordingly, but is only a concern if it's a sudden, extreme weight gain or loss, just as with any animal or human.
Beautiful Misty...she is so large yet so gentle, loving, affectionate, and playful. I enjoy reading about her progress in the Asian Ele-Diary. I think, though, that it would be great to keep updating each elephant's individual diaries. Unfortunately, there are so many elephants to care for, so that's hard!
I am glad Misty was not sent to a Zoo. She has the best home at the Elephant Sanctuary.
Misty is such a beautiful, loving elephant. It's almost like I know her. I hope that if I ever become a caregiver at the Sanctuary, Misty will be there and like people! I have become fond of Misty - she is jolly, large, and playful. What's not to love? I love the work of the Elephant Sanctuary.
I love these gentle giants!!!! Watching this gives my soul hope for the future of elephants and the day they are all free of the torture inflicted by man!!! God Bless you all
It is so moving to me to see the total trust and the friendly relationships the elephants have with their caregivers. It speaks volumes about the environment of mutual respect and noncoerciveness at the Sanctuary. Those are some happy, happy elephants.
Now we know why people are so aganist the elephants being in the circus, Carol in video seems to really care for those girls, Excuse me why get another tissue.
It was great to see this beautiful video. I donated yesterday to Misty so it was nice being able to see her in this video. I am so happy that there is such a wonderful place as the Elephant Sanctuary where these beautiful creatures can get the love and care that they so deserve. I would love to work there since I love animals so much.
Yes - difficult to see through tears - this to me is the ultimate love, the affection between them, well can't we humans just learn so much by watching our animal friends and I just cannot get enough of elephants, they are our gentle giants on this planet !
Instead of giving each other gifts this year for Christmas, my sisters and I have decided to donate to a charity of our choice in each others' name. I choose the Elephant Sanctuary for my gift as I will again next year. Why didn't we think of this sooner? These lovely ladies are so deserving.
I wish I was a giant so I could pick Misty up and cradle her. I love how she walks through the branches. She appears to be very pleased with herself. I also love how happy she is with the truck. It's as if she recognizes it as the truck that brought her to the Sanctuary. I'm sure she's travelled in many trucks in less than desireable conditions, but obviously she can distinguish between the bad old days and the trucks of her life now.
Yes she is! So pretty and a real smiley-faced girl. I bet she was an adorable little baby elephant. I wish I could hug her too but she looks so giant next to her caregiver. (She has a cute 'little' tushie too!)

Do the elephants' weights change, or do they stay the same?
Please write back. Thanks.

The Love for these elephants as expressed by the caretakers of the sanctuary is as beautiful as the elephants themselves.
I am so deeply touched by both.
Thank you.
