Oh these guys are AMAZING. So this is the first time I met the eles and we couldn't get out or anything just look. But Miceala said "oh these are the elephants you will be working with" and I was awe struck and excited! So the one with what looks no tusks is Mondevu (spelling?) and she is the only female, and in this picture she is pregnant with Macavuse's baby. Macavuse is the largest male who is in the first two pictures, one with Mondevu and the other of his face. He is the dominant male. The one who is trying to sniff us with his trunk out is Toto (who DOES NOT like white people as he was previously abused by his white owners. No white person can ride him alone or he will shake until you fall off, also Toto has a great personality but not so social. They all have amazingly different personalities! Okay here is my elephant interesting facts....One is that they have a gland on the side of their face that can ooze out liquid...if the liquid is clear they are cool if it is white they are MAD. Then they have a gland inside their mouths that other elephants can smell with their trunks and this smell from the gland will tell the other elephant what type of mood they are in. I guess i wouldn't have a job as a psychologist if we were all like elephants and you just had to smell their gland to find out their mood, or how weird our society would be though...haha.
