Meet the Herds

Khundej arrived ENP on 18th October 2014. He has Dani as his adopted nanny and Saree is now the big sister. With his charming, Pookie also fall in love with him and they both love to play together. When Pookie’s family have a chance to meet Khundej family, she do not hesitate to go straight to greet this gentle boy. They get along well with each other, giving warm love by their trunks. All of them lost their families and used to live their life with loneliness. At Elephant Nature park, they have comfort by the love of Khundej and fulfill their hearts by family relationship. We hope this bond will last long in to the future.
