I know this is a very touching picture, but this is very, very unusual for elephants to be sleeping like this on the ground. These guys have been trekking through China going somewhere, no one really knows. But these guys are utterly exhausted. They are showing every sign of stress and fear as they move. They keep together in a close pack near towns and around people, but they are going where they are going anyway. The Chinese seem to be keeping a good eye on them, and they should be ok, but this ain’t right.
It’s a whole drawer full of spoons!
This will undoubtedly be the most wholesome thing I see today. Thanks for posting!
They all have contact with at least one other elephant (and the little one is snuggling)
Maybe the little one fell asleep while nursing
Makes my heart go pitter patter, thumpity thump. :)
You might wanna see a doctor about that
Wow! Must have been a huge drone to capture not one but so many elephants in one go!
I bet it couldn’t have done it if they were awake though
I totally agree that a drone could never capture them all sleeping together if they were awake.
Alt link? I can’t see the image. Please and thank you.
Oh, I wonder why you can’t see it, it’s uploaded to my instance.
I was in France if it makes a diff. I’m back in the US and can see it now. Thanks.
How is this:
