But as restrictions lift, the calves may be sent to zoos and circuses, and the mothers will be worked to death by logging companies. | Care2 | Facebook

Baby elephants drink their mothers milk regularly for up to two years, sometimes longer. Guzzling down up to 3 gallons of milk a day, their first year is completely dependent on their mother providing all their daily nutrients. At about 4 to 6 months they will start to try out different foods and gradually over the years will have a varied diet. They can continue nursing occasionally for up to 10 years but if a new brother or sister arrives that will stop sooner. 🐘💙🐘💗 #Samuielephanthaven #El
