Herd Excited By Arrival Of New Rescue Elephant "Dok Koon" [View all]
"Many people still believe that elephants lack emotions and feelings. I urge you to watch this clip. Every time, upon arriving at Elephant Nature Park with new Park members, we will witness various family groups in the field become highly attentive. Sometimes it is just the truck, but more often it is the knowledge that someone is on that truck. Elephants cluster at the gate, anticipating the arrival of a truck with a new member. They‘d raise their trunks and fuss, communicating amongst themselves. Occasionally, elephants aboard the vehicle would respond with a similar Trunks Up and a cacophony of welcoming sounds.
Just 2 days ago, such a welcoming committee marked Dok Koon’s arrival. Chana‘s family, eliciting excited and curious noises reflected their raw emotions. This is the heartwarming welcome toward new elephant arrivals at Elephant Nature Park. Allowing them to freely express themselves reveals their wonderful and amazing reactions to each other."
