A day at the Baths

Im ready to start my Mahout training. The first day of training we practice riding.
I have new pants.
New shirt.
New atitude.

You see in may hand my new Mahout tools. The elephant hook and the knife. The hook is one the tools that we use to communicate with the elephant. We use voice, touch, and empahty. The hook is an extention of our touch.

The knife is used in the jungle. I will talk more about the knife in another section.






The first day we also learn that it is our job to clean up after the elephants.

Don't try any of these things at home or the zoo.

We are at the Elephant Hospital. I am disinfecting a wound this elephant has on his foot.
By measuring the elephants waist and using a formula you can find his weight.
Many of the medical supplies at the elephant hospital has to be made by hand there. You can't count of finding gauze pads elephant size at the local 7-11.
Now we are bandaging the foot.
You can see his wound. He stepped on a land-mind. It is much better now but still needs to be looked after.
