This was part of Nature on PBS, the story of the reunion of two Elephants separated for 25 years. My sister watched this and it just wrecked her. There is no other way to describe the way these two mammoth creatures interact at the end of the video than “hugging”. Perhaps elephants can love their friends as much as we humans love our own.
Watch this, and tell me that ivory is more valuable than the lives of the giving, loving creatures.
I love elephants.
Elephants hugs are sweet.
What an amazing video. Such an intimate affection they had for each other, like family.
Like best friends! Hugs, Barbara
Yes, closer than family even. And Shirley did not look in great health. Those chains,,, so glad they are gone.
Yes. But it made me feel so happy. I knew they were happy too. Hugs, Barbara
Yes, so true. You and your sister have big hearts. Hugs, Brenda
