Michelle York+FollowElephants Are Basically Talking to Us!Turns out elephants are way more like us than we thought! A new study found that African elephants use their trunks to make 38 different gestures—on purpose—to communicate with humans, especially when they want apples. They even switch up their gestures if they don’t get what they want. And get this: they only bother when people are actually watching. It’s wild to think these gentle giants are intentionally trying to chat with us! Makes you wonder what else animals are trying to say. #Science #Elephants #AnimalCommunication950Share
Matthew Kirk+FollowBaby Elephant Sighting = Hope for the Herd!A hidden camera in Vietnam’s Da Nang forest just caught the cutest thing—a baby Asian elephant trotting next to its mom! With only about 40,000 Asian elephants left, every new calf is a big deal. This little one brings the local herd up to nine, and it’s a huge win for conservation. Trail cams are helping scientists keep tabs on these gentle giants, and honestly, it’s the kind of good news we all need. #Pets #elephants #conservation1440Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowBaby Elephants Orphaned—What Happens Next?Imagine being a baby elephant and suddenly losing your mom to poachers. These little giants go through real grief, refusing to leave their mom’s side and crying out for help. Orphaned calves need special milk, round-the-clock care, and even therapy to heal from trauma. Human caretakers step in as surrogate moms, teaching them how to eat, play, and survive. It’s heartbreaking but also inspiring to see how much love and science goes into giving these babies a second chance at life. #Science #Elephants #WildlifeRescue460Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowElephants Have Names for Each Other?!Turns out elephants are even smarter than we thought—they actually call each other by unique names! Scientists spent years recording wild elephants and discovered they use special rumbles to address specific individuals, just like we use names. Moms even have special calls for their calves. This not only shows how tight-knit elephant families are, but could help with conservation too. Who knew elephants had such a secret social life? #Science #Elephants #AnimalIntelligence130Share
martinezlaura+FollowGhost Elephant Spotted After 5 Years!A super rare 'ghost elephant' just made a surprise appearance on camera in Senegal—first time in five years!

Joshua Townsend+FollowZimbabwe’s Elephant Cull Sparks OutrageZimbabwe just greenlit the culling of 50 elephants because their reserve is way over capacity—think 2,550 elephants in a space meant for 800! Officials say it’s about protecting the ecosystem and feeding hungry communities, but conservationists are fuming, warning it could mess up biodiversity and hurt tourism. There are other ways to handle elephant overpopulation (like wildlife corridors), but for now, the cull is on. Would you support this move or is it a step too far? #Zimbabwe #Elephants #WildlifeConservation #Pets2315Share

After years in city zoos, most are moving to massive open-range parks where they can actually hang out in herds, swim, graze, and just be elephants. It’s a huge win for their happiness, but some people still say zoos aren’t enough. Either way, seeing these gentle giants living their best lives is seriously heartwarming. 🐘💚 #Elephants #AnimalWelfare #ZooNews #Pets3641Share
