Instead of riding or working with them, we employ our elephants in their daily lives and have learned to adapt to them so that we can all enjoy our activities together. The elephants that are currently living with us are the elephants that have previously had to cohabit with humans, so they are accustomed to human behavior. Every day, you’ll discover how warm, hot, and hungry they are.
