3:38 pm
that the phase and the, the colleen and they only need to pass dry's the goats smoke at the sanctuary. but time is not on their side, it's an hours drive and they can't just go faster because then the mill could get shaken up too much the but pauline's new formula is a clever invention. one that both cuts the sanctuaries, annual cost and eliminates the need to import can develop from abroad the we have a loss of note today when
3:39 pm
the heat becomes oppressive in the wild mothers sheltered their young with their bodies and take them to watering colors. they only in pauline fulfill that rule at the sanctuary, keeping their charges cool to prevent sunstroke and teaching them to stay hydrated the level continue to last night because the there's always something to do and it's always challenging for them. but one of my regular g cheese is to accompany the allison some that travels like when i follow the mouse in the bush, i sometimes stay close to that other times i move further away. what then go as they gets older, we gradually go all separate ways so it becomes more natural for them to avoid human contacts. helping them. the keepers, reassuring presence and supervision helps the calves become more independent.
3:40 pm
essentially, these elephants are ever to be successfully released back into the wild causal uniform you. it's important that i where am i uniform at all times, especially when i'm near the elephant to ask because they can more easily recognize us. i wonder who made this way as a not uniform is what i will find. hold on my own, on the so i mostly proud and happy to wherever it we way uniforms. like the men come and it shows that we work together and the way it equals many school because self away from the main enclosure surrounded by thorn bushes. another enclosure is for older elephants between 4 and 7 years of age. but it doesn't be a good day. i
