elephante.

Today is elephant appreciation day, and I love me some elephants. They are just so gentle even though they are humongous. So to share my appreciation with you all, I have collected a few of my favorite photos. Enjoy!


Elephants have the largest brains of any mammal on the face of the Earth. They are creative, altruistic and kind.
-Ingrid Newkirk



We are not the only animal that mourns; apes do, and elephants, and dogs. Yet we are the only one that tortures.
-Geraldine Brooks



We admire elephants in part because they demonstrate what we consider the finest human traits: empathy, self-awareness, and social intelligence. But the way we treat them puts on display the very worst of human behavior.
-Graydon Carter


Aren't these animals gorgeous? 
Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)
