Sri Lanka: Elephant orphanage

 The highlight of the trip was walking among elephants at the elephant orphanage.


 They were a playful group.

 This is a sad picture.  This elephant is blind, having been shot 20 times in an attempt to kill him for his tusks.

 I am feeding this elephant bananas.

 She's quite happy and it's clear that bananas are like crack for an elephant.

While I'm happy that a guy captured this, the missing picture is of the elephant wrapping its trunk around my arm.  It was cool and scary at the same time.
