It’s almost a week since Navaan received his new toy and despite trying, he can not break it. Normally it will take only a couple minutes for him to manage to break toys. So, now he keeps busy, working hard trying to find ways how to break this toy. Thanks to Dr Amy Shroff who donated these wonderful elephant toys to our herd.
