Elephant Nature Park

Navann is showing how he can play with the tire as he never been trained, this is the nature of baby. Baby elephant is not different from the human baby, they are curious and have a feeling like our kids. They can present many lovely ways and we could see how they are growing with completely development if we let them free from any enforcement. They also deserve the right to play and live in freedom without fear.

Flashback Friday 8 September 2023: A short story of our handsome young bull named Navaan

Navaan (meaning “gold” in Cambodian) was born at Elephant Nature Park in the early hours of October 28, 2012, to a chorus of trumpeting and elephant gossip. Navaan will never work and will never have his spirit broken in a phajaan. He was so adorable as a baby, and such a winsome lad growing up within a family of ever expanding Nannies.

Elephant of the Week 31 July 2023: Jokia

Jokia joined our elephant family in 1997. Mae Perm, the Park’s first rescue, embraced her right away when they met and they were best friends until Mae Perm passed in 2016. Through Mae Perm, Jokia was introduced to many elephants, and, most significantly, to SriPrae who took Jokia into her family when Mae Perm died. Jokia became nanny to Navaan and the closest friend to his mother.

SriPrae gives birth to Navaan at Elephant Nature Park

Rescued Elephant SriPrae gives birth to Navaan

She never presented any signs she was pregnant, so we were quite surprised to hear the elephant commotion in the early morning, said Sangduen Lek Chailert, the founder of Save Elephant Foundation. Given the long gestation period of elephants and the lack of fertile bulls at Elephant Nature Park upon SriPrae’s arrival at the park, we are convinced she was already pregnant when we rescued her. We have so many false pregnancies at the park we never suspected she might have been carrying a baby.
