“Cute is when your personality shines through your looks. Like, when you see someone’s personality in the way they walk and you just feel like hugging them every time you see them."
Natalie Portman
I love elephants. My dream is to hug an elephant, ride him all day and leave knowing he will never forget me. Their big ears and personalities are too cute for words. The way they drink with their trunk makes me smile. I could spend hours on youtube watching videos of elephant nonsense. Additionally, many positive symbolism are attached to the animal. No other animal is glorified in the East as the elephant. The elephant was historically used to carry princes and noblemen and became associated with status and foresight. In Buddhism, the white elephant symbolizes patience and wisdom while the Chinese see the elephant as a symbol of energy, strength, and power. In the United states, elephant takes on symbolism as the symbol for the Republican party. Obviously, elephants are perfect.
Facts about Elephants (the most amazing animal on the planet):
1. Despite the size of ears the elephant’s hearing is poor (this made me sad)
2. They have the largest brains in the animal kingdom (11 pounds)
3. Elephants are herbivores and eat all types of vegetation such as grasses, leaves, fruits, and bark (like me!)
4. Elephants normally walk about 4 mph
5.Elephants spend about 16 hours a day eating
6. Elephants are able to swim for long distances
7. Wild life experts consider that Elephants are an endangered species.
