Elephant Camp 2005

Wednesday, November 30, 2005

This is the Elephant Hospital. It part of the Elephant conservatory. One of the few if not the only elephant hospital in the world.


This elephant has a bullet wound. He was in musk and the people did not know how to handel a Musk elephant and shot him. The next elephant I believe stepped on a land-mine. He has a big hole in the bottom of his foot.

This is another elephant with a foot wound. This time it was one of his wear feet. Back feet heal much slower then front feet.
The following elephant was owned by a guy who owned a hotel. The elephant was something like an attraction for the guess. They feed him people food since he was a baby. This elephant is malnourished. His body has not developed properly. His mental and physical growth has been retarded because of improper nutrition.
This is an old lady elephant about 70 years old. A log fell on her trunk.
She has a problem digesting food.

The following day she died.
