Dalah’s first time adventure in the new pool

Tue 16 Jan 18
Elephant Nature Park

Today we introduce Dalah to get into her new pool when the temperature is warmer in the afternoon. At first, she is wondering and doesn’t have any confidence to take a step. Finally, she enjoys dipping her body in the deep and spends time taking weight off her poor legs. She has so much fun put her head down in the water and use her trunk as a snorkel. We hope to see she can enjoy and relax with the water therapy everyday.
