The Elephant Sanctuary | Elephant Neighbors Chapter Two

Captured via EleCam, Summer 2014 -
The Elephant Sanctuary's 2700 acres are not JUST a home for 13 elephants retired from zoos and circuses but also for many other animals commonly found in the Middle Tennessee wilderness. Naturally, our EleCams capture some of their activities as well. Not long after Misty began hangin out in the area around the lake, a resident coyote decided to check her out while she napped before going on about her day. Deer and turkey are common sights in the meadows of the Q Habitat. Debbie seems to take a special interest in their goings-on, we observed her interacting with them before....often when the deer decide to help themselves to Debbie's hay. Debbie actually had access to the field where the deer were in this video, but she appeared content to "shoo" them from the fenceline. The ability to regularly interact with other animals in a natural setting was a new experience for many of these elephants upon arrival at The Sanctuary, and these interactions are an enriching part of The Sanctuary experience.
