That afternoon, the interactive elephant encounter in the sanctuary.

The handlers guide a group of elephants to the encounter point.



We had the opportunity to approach the elephants and feel their sandpaper-like ears and their skin, and then to feed them. There were two feeding methods that the elephants were tuned to relevant commands, either to lift their trunk and open their mouth and have a handful of pellets thrown in or to use their trunk to suck in pellets.
