There is such thing as elephant kisses…😘🐘 I hope this little guy brightens up your day as it did mine! Elephants are extremely intelligent and affectionate creatures. They use their trunks much like the way we use our hands, and the ends of their trunks are much more sensitive than our fingertips. Elephants only start to be in control of their trunks at about 6 months old. Trunks have around 150,000 different muscles…They use it for smelling, touching, feeding, drinking, dusting, communicating, loading, defending, attacking and in this very particular moment, to kiss! Always a privilege to be welcomed into the natural world... … Los besos de elefante existen 😉 Espero que este chiquitin illumine tu día tanto como a mi! Los elefantes son criaturas extremadamente inteligentes y cariñosas. Sus trompas funcionan de manera muy similar a nuestras manos, inclusive el extremo de su trompa es hasta mas sensible que las puntas de nuestros dedos. Un elefante empieza a tener control de su trompita a los 6 meses de edad. Con aproximadamente 150,000 músculos, utilizan su trompa para casi todo: oler, tocar, comer, beber, comunicarse, cargar cosas, defenderse, atacar y en este caso para darme un beso enorme! Siempre es un privilegio cuando un animal te hace sentir parte de su mundo… ____________________________________________________________ 📍Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, Nairobi #conservation #bekindtoelephants #biodiversity #savingspecies #nature #conservationmatters #stoppoaching #tsavo #worthmorealive #conservationconversation #kenya #saveelephants #elephants #geosafaris #africananimals #savetheelephants #knotonmyplanet #savetheelephants #sheldricktrust #DololoDSWT #DSWT #biodiversidad #elefantes #conservacion #adoptanelephant #babyelephant #davidsheldrickelephantorphange
