The Elephant Sanctuary | Dulary & Misty's First Swim

On July 5, 2008, best friends Misty and Dulary finally went swimming in Dulary's Pond! For nearly a year they had been walking past this cool body of water (was it a mirage?), but on this hot summer day, Dulary suddenly stopped, looked down at the water, and then ran into the pond, splashing side to side with her trunk. Hearing the commotion, Misty looked down from the top of the hill and immediately joined her sister playing in the water. This was also the first time Misty had gone swimming since arriving at the Sanctuary several years earlier.

Caregivers grabbed the video camera and captured this rare glimpse of Dulary and Misty's very first swim together at The Elephant Sanctuary. After this, they returned to the pond to swim nearly every day. For more information about Dulary and Misty, please visit http://www.elephants.com.
