Many people still believe that elephants lack emotions and feelings. I urge you to watch this clip. Every time, upon arriving at Elephant Nature Park with new Park members, we will witness various family groups in the field become highly attentive. Sometimes it is just the truck, but more often it is the knowledge that someone is on that truck. Elephants cluster at the gate, anticipating the arrival of a truck with a new member. They‘d raise their trunks and fuss, communicating amongst themselves. Occasionally, elephants aboard the vehicle would respond with a similar Trunks Up and a cacophony of welcoming sounds.
Just 2 days ago, such a welcoming committee marked Dok Koon’s arrival. Chana‘s family, eliciting excited and curious noises reflected their raw emotions. This is the heartwarming welcome toward new elephant arrivals at Elephant Nature Park. Allowing them to freely express themselves reveals their wonderful and amazing reactions to each other.

Imagine being Dok Koon, in a truck, not knowing where you are going, and then you see a bunch of elephants running to greet you. What an emotional roller coaster ride he had that day. Glad he is among friends now.

I love that they know what is happening when the truck arrives and how happy they are for whoever it will be to join them. Such precious souls. 💖

Props to that handler, takes some guts to put yourself in that spot, regardless of any relationships formed with those animals.

There is no doubt in my mind that elephants are highly emotional beings, in the best way possible. Their love for their own kind is sometimes way better than some humans can ever have for our own kin.❤🐘❤

Here comes the "Welcome Committee" trumpeting their joy to a new member of their family.

Now that's what I call a warm welcome to their new friend. Beautiful to see and heart warming. Did you know that when a female elephant gives birth, the other elephants will trumpet their congratulations and celebrations? Elephant love for each other is exemplary. Humans have alot to learn from them ❤

The elephants are joyfully telling the new arrival welcome to our family.

"Raw emotions" is the perfect description. With such good memories, I wonder if some recall their own arrivals. Elephant social behavior is amazing.

Their excitement and joy was so palatable, I started crying. The beauty and wonder of God’s creations is so humbling..💝

Wow!! Imagine being the new kid on the block and just being welcomed and celebrated like that! Elephants seem to be more evolved and compassionate than humans! Their caretakers are the exception!

It’s so heart warming to see the herd welcoming every new member. The trumpeting, the low growls of excitement. Just adorable 🥰

Fantastic welcome. Would love the clip to be a bit longer so we could see the herd interacting w/the new arrival once off truck. Thanks for all your love & generosity taking care of these giants. ❤❤❤

If hanging out with these beautiful giants isn't a dream job I don't know what is.

One would need to lack emotions and feeling to believe others lack them. Real truth is sensing the emotions and feelings of others deep within one's self. This was a very beautiful and heart warming moment for me. I saw and felt it all, thank you.

I wish people were as welcoming as elephants, we would all be better off.❤
