I always held a certain fondness for elephants, I've watched many documentations about them and was always quite excited to visit them in the zoo. The one pictured is a female Indian elephant in the Hannover Zoo (Germany) who lives in a rather large enclosure (styled like an Indian palace). She was very curious and despite the wide moat managed to stretch her trunk all the way over so that all of us watching her could touch her. Admittedly the keepers weren't too happy about it but that didn't deter the elephant. Thank you Selina and Flassie for your comments.

I was watching the Jungle on PBS and seen how the elephants stayed in communication with each other. It was very interesting. God Bless You and Yours!!!
