Elephants in Love

Elephants are extremely social creatures. They sometimes "hug" by wrapping their trunks together in displays of greeting or affection and use them to caress each other. Though adult males are fairly solitary, females spend their entire lives in tightly knit family groups made up of mothers, daughters, sisters, and aunts. The group is led by the eldest female, or matriarch. Distributed by TubeMogul.

explore™ (http://explore.org) is a multimedia organization that documents leaders around the world who have devoted their lives to extraordinary causes. Both educational and inspirational, explore creates a portal into the soul of humanity by championing the selfless acts of others.

they have families just like us humans and yet we do the stupidist things to them. It must be devestating when a poacher comes and breaks them apart. Us humans are such hypocrites.
