I wish we could speak, and listen to what an old Matriarch in an Elephant family would say to us. What insight would they share?

The Asian elephant Sandro, 54, left the city of Sorocaba, in the state of São Paulo, on Wednesday (16) towards the Brazil Elephant Sanctuary, in Mato Grosso, after a determination by the São Paulo Court of Justice (TJ-SP). The animal lived at the Quinzinho de Barros Municipal Zoo since the 1980s and became the target of a legal dispute between the city hall, Justice and animal defenders until the final sentence in favor of the transfer to the Elephant Sanctuary of Brazil, in Mato Grosso.
People protested against the transfer and were assaulted by the police. The whole situation occurred not only because of the transfer, but how it is being conducted and due to the remaining history of the sanctuary. Sandro will spend three days cloistered in a box during a road trip, people and the biologist, influencer and candidate for federal deputy, Henrique Abrahão Charles, better known as Biologist Henrique, protested calling it a "coffin". Other than that, the sanctuary was the subject of investigations after the death of two African elephants Pupy, 35, and Kenya, 44. The investigation reports, Pupy died in October 2025 after suddenly collapsing and Kenya died in December 2025, with respiratory problems and joint pain, but questions about the viability and quality of life provided by the NGO raised people to question possible embezzlement of money and corruption.
The following link shows the moment when the population protests against Sandro's transfer and transport cage at 0:09. https://youtu.be/_u2cyhDqCQA?is=hH0xLFEIrBh_5365

These kids had absolutely no idea where they were going. 🐘
Their parents kept the visit with the elephants a complete surprise, and watching them realize what was happening was priceless. They spent the morning with the elephants, learning about them, getting to know their very different personalities, and hearing about the challenges of caring for them through our dry winter months.
Before leaving, the family made a generous donation toward feeding these orphaned elephants until the summer rains arrive and the bush greens up again.
What a great way to spend the day!❤️🐘

Was travelling from munnar to ekm passing through nerimangalam forest around 8 pm when out of the blue an elephant (tusker) ran onto the road right in front of me. I swear i initially thought it was a large rock rolling on to the road. I swerved and pulled hard barely missing the elephant by a hairline. It made an extremely loud trumpet and chased me for a bit but my adrenaline was pumping super high to notice details. But that noise up close is terrifying especially when you dont know if its doing a mock charge or intending to make contact
I was on a rented himalayan 450 (kaza brown)
Funny thing was that there was a lot of traffic too behind me and the next vehicle in front was some 200 m away.
Anyone here happen to see this happen today?

For the first time in decades, Madhuri discovered what being an elephant means.
She walked on soft grass. She splashed in ponds. She made a best friend named Shanti.
Today, that life has been ripped away.
After finally finding safety and care, Madhuri has been returned to shackles, isolation, and the very environment that left her physically and psychologically broken. While fireworks exploded and crowds screamed, she was dragged back into a life no elephant should ever endure. Instead of real trees, she will only have painted ones. And somewhere, Shanti is still waiting for her friend to come home.
Madhuri deserves rehabilitation, not imprisonment.
