I embraced the elephants / myLot

December 19, 2022 6:33pm CST

I was so impressed with the paintings of the elephants in Safariworld that I went and embraced few of them. The trainers told me not to overdo it because elephants understand appreciation but too much of overdoing can lead to change of mood.My family members were also amazed at their art work.

@FayeHazel I and my elder son embraced the elephants. They understood that we were appreciating their skills

@sathviksouvik Aw I love knowing that. I think there has been some research done that states that the elephants think that humans are cute.

thanks Cheung there was an elephant trainer called mahout adjacent to it. In case the mood changed he could control the elephant. But the moment I embraced the elephant it understood the feelings and behaved like a friend

@sathviksouvik It's good that there is a trainer just in case.

@Beestring thanks Cheung trainers are always required. There are so many children in the Safariworld, any animal or bird can all of a sudden feel insecured and create damage. The trainers maintain peace.
