\u201cA good herd leader must take care of and protect her members and Faa Mai sees me as one of her own, as part of the herd she leads. When it began to rain, Faa Mai quickly pulled me under her belly to shield me from getting wet. This is just one example of the remarkable kindness and intelligence of elephants. It\u2019s a beautiful reminder that elephants are deeply emotional beings, capable of love, care, and empathy not just for their own kind, but for those they trust.\u201d<\/p>\n
