On elephants, we "hunted" in the Rostov zoo. Now there are four of them: the African elephant Hume, the females of Sitara, Cinta, and the baby Ekol. She is in the foreground in the photo, and behind her is the mother of Cinta, who is not a step away from her baby, who is still fluffy like a baby mammoth)
The females, along with the elephant, live separately from Yuma, and he is in the adjacent aviary. He has his own deep pool-pond! At lunch, the elephant is transferred to the room, and the females with the baby go to the pond to take water procedures.
Little Ekol does not enter the pool yet, he is very spongy, her mother Cinta vigilantly watches the baby fall a maximum of two or three steps to the water, while holding her trunk by the tail!))
An Asian elephant with a beautiful name Sitara does not yet have a cub, but actively helps to look after a little Ecole.
And here is an African handsome giant, Hume) He is very inspired by the neighborhood with an unmarried Sitara) It is possible that in our zoo there will be a fifth member of the elephant family.
