World Elephant Day – Foster an Elephant
I love elephants. I am so intrigued by their excellent memories, that they have one mate for life, and that they have real feelings – they get sad and cry too! It always breaks my heart to see stories about rescued elephants that were abused and I’ve been wanting to find a way to help. It turns…
