Gigantic Heroics


Elephant Greetings   (Photo by jinterwas)
When a baby elephant slipped over the edge of a huge Thai waterfall, herd members sprang into action.

Six of them plunged to their death while trying to save the baby and one another.  Then five more followed suit.  Another two managed to survive, and were found “floundering on a rock.”

This is not only an heroic loss, but also a tragic one.  Once    the “ubiquitous” symbol of Thailand, the elephant population has dramatically declined through “destruction of its natural habitat.”
