Elephants, as we know, are becoming an endangered species. Illegal poachers have killed many and harvested their tusks to be sold on the black market.

Elephants are gentle creatures but very maternal also. A loss of a baby gives them depression and eventually leads to their death.

Amidst all the cruelty dealt to them, they are still able to form deep and emotional relationships with humans especially with those who care for them.

Meet Lek. Lek is an elephant caretaker in Elephant Nature Parks in Chiang Mai, a city in the northern part of Thailand. Lek takes care of Faa Mai, one of the park’s rescued baby elephants.

Lek puts Faa Mai to sleep with a sweet lullaby every time and Faa Mai just loves it like a baby loves hearing her mother’s singing.

Faa Mai and Lek have more than a bond of friendship. They have the kind of bond and love between a mother and child. Elephants, as I have said, are the most maternal animals in the animal kingdom.

Just imagine what this baby elephant feels knowing she can experience that maternal love even from someone of another species.

This may seem simple for most of us but to Faa Mai, it means the world to her. She might not ever meet someone who loves her as much as Lek does.

Appreciate the simple things in life. Be thankful for what you have and just enjoy every bit of it. Life can be cruel at times but there will always come a time where you’re able to smile and see the beauty of it.

We hope you have a great day today! Symbolically adopt an elephant click here.
