    I’m trying to imagine their reunion from the elephant’s perspective - you make friends with this tiny little critter who’s even smaller than a baby, who isn’t very good at swimming so you have to save him sometimes, and he has a special call when he sees you. But one day he disappears and doesn’t come back, way past the times he usually turned back up. Did something happen? Did he get swept away by the river? But then one day…you hear his distinctive call again! He found his way home to you! It reminds me of videos of people being reunited with a long-lost pet: such disbelief and joy!

    Several years ago, I got to pet an elephant at the fair. I told her how beautiful and sweet she was. She gently wrapped her trunk around me and pulled me against her head for a hug. I spread my arms as far as they would go, leaned my whole body against her, and gave her some kisses. The man with her said it was really unusual for her to do that with someone she just met. I still love that sweet girl.

      A 2017 study opens in a new tab (Oxytocin and Opioid Receptor Gene Polymorphisms Associated with Greeting Behavior in Dogs) found that variations in the receptor genes for oxytocin were related to dogs' willingness to greet unfamiliar people. African elephants were found to be superior sniffers, possessing the largest number of genes associated with smell - five times as many as humans and more than twice that of dogs.

    Oh, my heart. What a beautiful thing to see. Thank you for sharing this.
    I've been donating what I can every year to this incredible sanctuary, ever since I first saw a video of Lek and a group of volunteers doing a rescue of an elephant being turned over from one of those "elephant riding" operations.
    The one thing I will always do, in any situation where the topic of elephants comes up, is to always encourage others to _never_ support industries that are so abusive to animals. In the case of elephants, that would be Circuses, logging, and the aforementioned "riding" camps.
    Same reasons to advocate against so-called "factory farming" practices.

      Earth-healers? Elephants can devastate the vegetation in an area with how much they need to eat. Male elephants can be quite aggressive and kill other animals just because they want to. They're fascinating, majestic creatures, but let's not get goofy about it.

The abusers, poachers, exploiters have a warm place in hell waiting for them. Thank you for this video.
