  • Baby elephant plays with mum at an elephant spa in India<br />
<br />
A captive elephant plays with its mother at the Sakrebailu Elephant Camp at  Shimoga, Karnataka, India. Situated at a distance of 14 km from the Shimoga town on the Shimoga-Thirthahalli Road, it is considered to be the best camp for training elephants in the state. The camp is major attraction for wildlife enthusiasts and tourists as it is one of those ecotourism centres that offers general people an opportunity to look at the tuskers from close quarters.<br />
<br />
The camp houses elephants that require proper attention and/or training. The elephants may require training or attention due to a number of reasons such as illness, behavourial issues and deficiency in nutrition. The wild elephants are also brought in for training at the camp, situated on the banks of river Tunga. The main attraction of the camp is the interaction session allowed between the visitors and the elephants. Unlike other elephant camps of the state, this camp allows visitors to interact with the tuskers from a close distance. Such a session can last for up to 2 to 3 hours. Visitors have to reach the camp early in the morning to be able to watch the elephants being bathed in the water of the Tunga River by the mahouts. They can also watch the big animals enjoying their drink and then proceeding towards their feeding area. The place holds special attraction for kids as they get to see the large creatures enjoying by themselves in the water.<br />

  • Amazing as Baby elephant saved by truck drivers<br />
<br />
The truckers were forced to stop on their way to Nata because a bridge had washed away. Whilst waiting for the bridge to be fixed… the little elephant appeared; and the men realised it was dehydrated, according to a post by Global March for Elephants and Rhinos.<br />
<br />
Global March said: “Thank you to these compassionate men who stopped and helped this 3 week old orphaned baby elephant.” (It’s not certain whether the elephant was orphaned actually… or just abandoned by its herd.)<br />
<br />
Photos and video of the rescue by Chantelle Beyleveld who wrote:  Afriag men hold their name high. They saved a 3 week old elephant without its mother. He will be safe at the Elephant Sands Animal Rescue in Nata<br />
<br />
Fortunately having their truck, the men were able to take the little elephant to the closest sanctuary. Apparently they did first search for the calf’s herd but couldn’t find it.<br />

  • Rajan – The Last Swimming Elephant in the Andaman Islands <br />
<br />
The legendary swimming elephant, Rajan whose several photos and videos have gone viral on social media and now passed away one Russian photographer Mike Korostelev, shares his images of the legendary elephant.<br />
<br />
Photographer Mike recalls the day he shot these amazing images of Rajan,<br />
<br />
Did it have any difficulty swimming?<br />
No. All elephants are very good swimmers because they are lighter than water. However, not all of them do it in the sea.<br />
It is very easy for him. His whole body is under water and sometimes he puts his trunk out of the water to breathe.<br />
<br />
-What was going through your mind when you were in the water with it? Were you scared?<br />
It was fantastic! I was swimming right next to it and under it between its massive legs without ceasing to click the button on the camera. It was incredible.<br />
<br />
-Did the elephant know you were there? Did it mind? Did it react?<br />
Its eyes were underwater.  It looked around, but did not pay any attention to me.<br />
<br />
-How did the elephant behave in the water? What did it do?<br />
It swam slowly all the time and didn't want to return to the beach.<br />
<br />
-How long did the elephant stay in the water for? How did it get out? What did it do afterwards?<br />
About 40-45 minutes. After that the owner came to Rajan in a canoe and said to him that it was time to go back.<br />
After the dive we fed him bananas and he went home to rest.<br />
The owner said that Rajan is not young now and he can swim maximum 1 time in a week.<br />

It is very easy for him. His whole body is under water and sometimes he puts his trunk out of the water to breathe.<br />
<br />
-What was going through your mind when you were in the water with it? Were you scared?<br />
It was fantastic! I was swimming right next to it and under it between its massive legs without ceasing to click the button on the camera. It was incredible.<br />
<br />
-Did the elephant know you were there? Did it mind? Did it react?<br />
Its eyes were underwater.  It looked around, but did not pay any attention to me.<br />
<br />
-How did the elephant behave in the water? What did it do?<br />
It swam slowly all the time and didn't want to return to the beach.<br />
<br />
-How long did the elephant stay in the water for? How did it get out? What did it do afterwards?<br />
About 40-45 minutes. After that the owner came to Rajan in a canoe and said to him that it was time to go back.<br />
After the dive we fed him bananas and he went home to rest.<br />
The owner said that Rajan is not young now and he can swim maximum 1 time in a week.<br />

  • Ouch! Now I feel silly: Baby elephant lands on his trunk after tripping over log at Vienna Zoo<br />
<br />
When you’re a baby elephant there’s much to learn. <br />
For instance, some logs you can simply step over – and some are so big it’s best to go round them.<br />
Unfortunately for this little one at Vienna Zoo, mum was too busy to offer any advice, so he had to learn the hard way, tripping up and landing, rather uncomfortably, on his trunk.<br />
The Schönbrunn zoo in Vienna is the world's oldest animal conservation facility and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<br />
Last month, the zoo announced that one of their elephants had become pregnant from frozen sperm.<br />
Scientists succeeded for the first time in impregnating an elephant with frozen sperm, ultrasound pictures presented by the zoo showed.<br />
The scan showed a 10.6-centimetre-long (4.2 inch), five-month-old elephant foetus with its trunk, legs, tail, eyes and ears clearly discernible.<br />
<br />
The foetus, which was scanned in April, is likely now 20 cm long, the zoo said, and is due to be born to 26-year-old African elephant Tonga in or around August 2013 after a pregnancy of about 630 days.<br />
Elephants have been impregnated with fresh or refrigerated sperm in the past in an effort to protect endangered species, but frozen sperm can be transported further, and allows the female elephant to be inseminated at her most fertile time.<br />
A zoo spokeswoman said the sperm was taken from a sedated wild elephant in South Africa using electroejaculation in the project known internally as 'Operation Frozen Dumbo'.<br />
It took eight months to clear customs on its way to France due to lack of an established procedure for such wares.<br />
The project was a joint effort of Schoenbrunn Zoo, Berlin's Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research, France's Beauval Zoo and Pittsburgh Zoo in the United States.<br />
Both African and Asian species of elephant are endangered, especially the Asian, mainly due to poaching for meat and ivory tusks and destruction of their habit

  • runaway ELEPHANT is crushed to death after being hit by a double decker bus<br />
<br />
This is the horrific moment a bus carrying 25 people on a motorway crashed into a runaway elephant.<br />
The double-decker coach had been travelling from Bangkok to Chiang Mai in northern Thailand when it ploughed into the eight-year-old bull which had strayed onto the road.<br />
Mobile phone footage captured the moment the dazed elephant was struck by the bus - which was travelling at around 60mph and skidded for some 30 metres with the elephant under the front wheels.<br />
Heartbreaking pictures show the male elephant crushed to death with the entire front windscreen of the coach shattered from the impact.<br />
The elephant died instantly and rescuers had to remove a foot from the dashboard while they treated critically injured driver Narit Chittong, 45, who was trapped in the wreckage.<br />

  • Elephant Killed, Driver Badly Hurt in Bangkok to Chiang Mai Bus Crash<br />
<br />
BANGKOK, Oct 1 (Bernama) — An eight-year old male elephant was killed and a bus driver critically injured last night after it was hit by an express bus carrying 25 passenger at Hang Chat district, Lampang province in northern Thailand.<br />
<br />
Col Virot Saeng-iem, Deputy Investigation Chief at Hang Chat Police Station, said that the incident occurred on the Lampang-Chiang Mai route at about 10pm (local time). All the passengers were not hurt.<br />
<br />
He said that the elephant named ‘Plai Udom’, had broke loose from its shelter and was hit by the express bus, while walking on the road.<br />
<br />
According to Virot, the bus driver, Narit Jittrong, 45,who was trapped in his seat due to the crash, could not see the elephant because it was dark.<br />

  • cliff in Iceland that looks like an elephant<br />
<br />
Did you know that there’s a native elephant in Iceland? Though it’s just not the kind you’re thinking of! On the island of Heimaey – translated as ‘Home Island’ – there’s a cliff that looks oddly like the head of an elephant with its trunk dipped into the water.<br />
At first glance, you can already recognize the massive pachyderm ‘hiding’ within the natural rock formation. Aside from its shape, its texture and colour make the illusion even more convincing, giving it the appearance of an old elephant with mounds of dirt on its back and head. And what do locals call this cool landmark? Elephant Rock<br />

  • Elephant Foot Glacier <br />
<br />
The Elephant Foot Glacier in northeastern Greenland, looks like a bowl of batter that has been poured over a pan. The sheer pressure of the zillion-ton ice has broken through the mountain and spilled into the sea in a near symmetric, fan-shaped lobe. Such glaciers are known as piedmont glaciers, and the Elephant Foot Glacier is a perfect example of it. Its shape is so distinct that it stands out dramatically from its surroundings when viewed from high above.<br />
<br />
Glaciers are one of the most extraordinary of the earth’s natural phenomena. These rivers of frozen snow accumulated over centuries of precipitation are so densely packed that it exceeds its overall ablation. They are in a constant state of flux, flowing down in the direction of the slope towards a valley or a water body.<br />
<br />
The Elephant Foot Glacier is located on the Kronprins Christian Land peninsula. It is not connected to Greenland’s main ice sheet. Rather, it’s part of a network of glaciers and ice caps that hangs around the periphery of the island. Research has shown that as a whole, these outlying glaciers and ice caps account for 5 to 7 percent of Greenland’s total ice coverage, but they are responsible for 20 percent of its contribution to sea level rise.<br />
<br />
Another example of piedmont glaciers is the Malaspina Glacier in southeastern Alaska. 65-km long and 45-km wide, it is the largest piedmont glacier in the world. The glacier arises where several valley glaciers, primarily the Seward Glacier and Agassiz Glacier, spill out from the Saint Elias Mountains onto the coastal plain facing the Gulf of Alaska. <br />

If you who want to take your self-shot elephant, leopard or giraffe as a trophy  home, you can visit the white Namibian Louw Mel, just outside Windhoek. He and his 45 professional support staff  will stuff your elephant for around EUR 38,000. But not only an elephant, also a giraffe (8500 euros), leopard (1800 euros), rhino (14,000 euros) or alligator (328 euro/per meter) Louw and his men transforms in a true work of art. At the door of Louw's office hangs a price list on which the 35 most popular species are listed. Taxidermy is legal in Namibia and very popular among hunters. In his workshop, hundreds of stuffed animals waiting to be shipped to the hunters who have shot them. The hunters are mostly white foreigners. Every week dozens of hunters, mainly wealthy Germans and Americans dressed in khaki safari outfit visit one of the many private nature reserves owned by white farmers for big game hunting. An average private property is as large as 5000 ha, where many wild animals live. A hunter must obtain permission (cost: 10 euros) from the Namibian Nature conservation and there is an official quota for the number of animals per species that can be killed. "But in practice, things are not so strict' a Namibian hunting guide tells me. "If you have enough money and you pay the owner of the private nature park, you can usually shoot what you want. So apart from the costs of stuffing the animal, the hunter must also pay the landowner for allowing to shoot  wildlife. For permission to kill an elephant is around 20,000 euros, for an leopard 7000 euros, a lion 15.000 euros and an antilope 1500 euros. So, in order to get that self-shot elephant in your living room in Berlin, it will cost you around 60,000 euros (38,000 euros for stuffing, 20,000 euros for shooting and 2000 euros for transport to germany). Once a hunter has killed an animal, he brings it to a taxidermist such as Louw for the animal to mount. Louw stuffs arount 6000 animals each y
