Great post - really liked the story about the dog. I love and respect elephants - they are very much like us - mourn their dead, have close family ties..really remarkable critters!
I love elephants, the zoo we just went to didn't have any. Interesting video, I didn't think elephants and dogs would get along. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Almost had a heart attack! I LOOOOOVE ELEPHANTS! They are my favorite animals on Earth and I truly dreaming about having one of my own!!!! Ohhhhhhh... I'll never forget these pictures... I don't often like seeing them at the zoo or the circuses because I have that feeling they are being mistreated somehow. Once there was a circus in town and they took the elephants for a shower in a gas station, in the jet wash!!! I almost went closer to give them a big hug!!!
Thanks for sharing such wonderful shots! You made my day! Take care and keep smiling! Have a beautiful weekend!!! Love from Brazil!
wow This video is amazing!I would love be there and see it face to face! The mommy and the baby elephants are so adorable!THanks for sharing! Purrs and love from Brazil Luna

I love elephants and really need to go to the zoo this summer; it's been years!
I love elephants, and these look so nice. Thanks for posting that video too. The zoo where you live looks so nice and clean, and those elephants looks so healthy too.
I've seen that video before - but I never tire of watching it!

It's Saturday and it must be Camera Critters time! Back at the Houston Zoo, I'd like to introduce you to two Asian Elephants, Mom and Son, Tess and Tucker.

But my real reason for talking about the elephants was to introduce you to Max, The Elephant Dog. I think you'll enjoy the video (from the Houston Chronicle) and his story and you'll see more of the elephants and the new elephant barn. Enjoy!
