Today we had a chance to spend some time with the ellies,was really the greatest time I've had with them. What a opportunity, this was the first time I got so close to an elephant. We arrived at Zebula where the people showed us the interaction (What the elephants can do), it was pretty good how they listened to their teachers they had to sit down like a dog, jump in the air, talk we had to feel their body along the side. We had to feed them small pieces of oranges and boskos every time we had to ask them to do something and then feed them after doing what we asked. I wish we had a unbelievable opportunity to go on a safari with them and swim in the dam. We got very interesting facts about them like when we heard from the owner's son how they can smell a landmine far away and the elephants smell is much better than these of a dog...they founded drugs and the Police's dogs couldn't! The day before we had to get facts, feeding habits, habitat etc. about the elephants so that we know more about them and could tell them about our information we got. This day I learned more about their habitat and how much water they can drink in a day, when do they sleep, how much do they get fed everyday and how good their memory is. This was one big opportunity and I'm glad that I had the chance to sit on the elephants back, it's worse than climbing on a camel it's much higher, you have to do it to believe it.
Will give anything to spend some time with them again.
