We had a 2 hour drive to the Pinnawala Elephont Sanctuary. First stop was the see all the elephants enjoying the cool river water.
We asked about the difference between an Asian Elephant and African Elephant. The most obvious is the Asian Elephant has a light brown pigment on the ears, face and trunk. Asian Elephants are also smaller and ground feeders. Only 5% of Asian Elephants have tusks.
After lunch we went to a private Elephant place (Happy Elephants) to withness them close up.
When we got there there the heavens opened and it poured down
Elephants eat anything. We had a demonstrartion on how to eat a 4 foot palm tree log!
Time for a wash down.
Oh they are incredible. Please try and sneak a baby one home for me x
