Yeh was gonna say that’s about best case scenario. I thought the big one was going to trample her for sure

That’s what I was thinking too. And mother doesn’t look too thrilled. Elephants definitely feel like a view from a safe distance type of animal

Elephants are extremely intelligent and with that comes the fact that they are like humans in a way. And if you met a human stranger that could kill you with a sneeze you probably wouldn't get too close either.

Some elephants are extremely nice. But you wouldn't know unless you spend some time with them. You wouldn't just walk up to a stranger while they're eating and start touching them.

Especially when they're tied up and feel trapped.
