pickBig thumbs up from the 9 year old as we continue through the series. Things we learned: elephants are now growing shorter tusks due to years of poaching (which is sad but cool how biology works as a way to try & protect the species). In the author‘s notes she gave some good resources: Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (oldest elephant sanctuary) & Elephant Voices website has elephant ethograms where you can learn all about elephant behaviors. She also
ncsufoxes reminded people to stay away from side of the road places offering elephant rides. If you want to see elephants or other wildlife go through ecotourism programs that allow people to see nature while protecting it. 2d
