好 可爱! elephant is they curious you know when they when they hear something strange, they hear something strange or they hear something they get used to that they make a noise make a noise like reply。 发出声音是 if they get used to like dogs or buffaloes or cows they were not afraid。 别的动物也不害怕他,主要是大家都生存在一起,都已经互相适应。他们是朋友。 这只大象一点也不怕人,他甚至还特别想亲近这个象人。 他们的记忆非常强,他们还能记住人的声音哦。 所以说,刚才那个向导叫他名字的时候,他还在回应这个向导。 they get to know they get to learn the command command them they know basic commands they they know is come here stop stay back。 过来,后退, sit down, lay down。 坐下。 they know this, but we don't have to say this word we don't have to command them to do this mainly we use the command。 这些词他们都能听懂,但是 just let them know like that。 这个 e n p。 这个公园的这些工作人员从来不说这些。没有这些对大象的命理完全是贴近自然。 in the writing capital especially elephant they used to be elephant show they know many commands they know something extra like take the water and spray it to the people this is what they have done。 别的商业性的场所是训练这个大象用鼻子在水里面取水,然后喷向这些游客。像这些娱乐项目非常好,因为 some elephants like they used to be elephant show they come to the park。 他们都是叫 elephant show 的 大象表演秀,跟这个跟这个 e n p。 的 公园截然不同。这边就是让大象做自己。嗯,大象该做什么并不是为了能吃到东西。 我们每天都使劲喂它。我们并不需要做什么,我们就有吃的。所以说大象在这里活的非常的自在, 这就是真正的 walking with elephants。 哎呀,这个项目没白包呀,太有意思。嗯,又发出了第一口。 these two elephants know we also rescued them from a different place, but they adopt to be a friend when they stay here that one met on camma, met on camma and now she's eighty years old eighty years old。 这头大象八十岁了。 soon, she can fly she's not handicapped she starts to get flies。 她的眼睛也开始看不见了。 and that's one her friend's name freddingdang freddingdang her name means red bull, red bull! 红牛! hello, 红牛! red bull, you know red bull drinking yeah! 刚好是红牛公司解救的这头大象。 red bull, now we rescue her if you want to know which elephant from riding camp you look on the back, see her back her back is flat and her back there's one spot is no hair, no hair it's from the saddle, the saddle that the people put the saddle for twitch to sit。 怎么区分这个大象是不是来自马戏团和表演的地方?就是看他的这个背,他的这个背是平的话,他就是来自 骑骑行团,骑行马戏团之类的。他就是经常要被人骑,所以他的背上呢,就把他的背弄平,然后可以放那个鞍子,像马鞍似的,以便做人。 我们刚才拍到的那头大象就背就是斜的。你看,这头大象在休息,他的后腿,八十岁的老奶奶累了吧?哈哈哈,哇,这前腿挺长呀。 no! let's put the cushion to make a the saddle soccer。 优雅的八十岁老奶奶, but that cushion is for longer。 像这些从 writing camp 来的 elephants, 他 们背上每天要驮五十公斤的木质的鞍子。 好辛苦啊。他的手腕手腕有水渗出来。因为他的以前在这个 riding camp 的 时候呢,他的这个手肘,他已经肿了,水肿了,里面有液体渗出来。牛的命运 以前还挺悲惨,现在感觉他好开心呀。这不就是传说中的对象吗?

给大家看看我们的就餐环境吧,这简直太奢侈。 哎呀,舒服,轻松,大自然的魅力,此刻我只想吟诗一首啊, 大象,大象,你的鼻子怎么那么长? 大象,大象,大象是一种神奇的生物,你看向这个大象的眼睛的时候,就能感觉到它的情感, 它的那个眼睛,它的反正整个是特别有灵性的一种动物。确实 不知道大象的这个智商相当于几岁的小孩呢?我感觉比狗还要聪明, 想和人亲近会及时的被他的饲养员阻止。反正我也挺喜欢大象的, 动物园里的那种猴子,还有峨眉山的那种猴子,我可能不是那么的喜欢,除了除了他们以外,所有的动物都不喜欢, 但是有一种动物我比较害怕,不是蟑螂,也不是老鼠,也不是蜘蛛,这些我都不怕,我最怕的是满背疙瘩的蛤蟆。 呃,一想起来就觉得汗毛之力好吓人啊。 虽然说这个的门票三千五百泰铢挺贵的吧,但是仔细想想相当于做慈善,他这个大象营运营的也不容易, 今天这个象岛一直强调的就是让大象做自己,对他做的越好越爽,他们这个土地也是越来越大,越来越大,因为他们收养的大象越来越多, 所以说我们就当这个门票做慈善了,给大象买好吃的了,给这些辛苦的天天风吹日晒的工作人员发工资了,这样想想也挺有意义的。今天是在清迈的第二天, 好好玩呀这个地方,怪不得大家都说清迈好,我看还有好多人在清迈买房子。确实挺好,但是他有一点就是我们住的古城这边没有任何公共交通,要么就突突车,出租车,网约车, 没有什么公交车呀什么的,可能地方也不大吧。明天我们就要换一个地方住了,也在清迈,在宁曼路那边, 那边稍微繁华一些,靠近那边的景点也多一些,换个酒店,我们换一种体验吧。现在我们就等着向导集合,开始下午的更有趣味的项目吧。 现在应该是要给要给大象做吃的了,喂,吃的之前要先洗手,就怕你的手上有什么防晒乳啊,各种东西,那样大象吃了就不干净了。 remember, i'll tell you a bit here right, no need to take any meat i mean for veal yeah have only come to another end trouble yes, if it's smaller put it plan now someone can just break it put it here okay to the elephant that they own elephant they have no teeth so no teeth they need something soft this is like a special treat for them and we're gonna mix rice with this one tamarind yellow tamarind, no tamarind, no tamarind is sour foods sour, oh sour the sour case of food is help elephant fertilizers help elephants too easy to poop this one rice powder rice powder as the fiber help to clean intestines detox。 切南瓜给大家吃, 切不动,笑死。 yeah, yeah! like that one yeah right some more let's kiss you and then yeah oh here okay, yeah! hahaha, good to eat raw yeah, i want to eat raw。 愉快的给大象做饭,已经开始等饭了,着急了,马上来啊马上来! 大家看他的耳朵上有眼,他们以前在商业性质的那种组织里面表演的时候,耳朵耳朵上会挂钩子,所以说他们耳朵上都有伤, 这都是他们经历的见证。现在开始喂食了,每个大象的饮食习惯还不一样呢。 啊,来了来了! everyone you can hold more than one piece or as my you can hold it don't feel like this in one time okay, you feel it some good drop oh my god mister bobby's head when your foot drop near elephants don't pick it up and they don't pick it by themselves so you can feed one by one if they ask him for more you can put it more okay! i will tell you good eat more food i can spend more time with my lips on your heart okay, i will tell you like it how you can turn around come inside?

因为有大象的存在,才有了想象一次的出现。大象是地球上为数不多真正读懂死亡,懂得告别的生物。超高的智商没有让他们冷漠通透,反而让他们拥有了最细腻的共情与深情。 同伴离世,他们会赶走啃食遗体的野兽,用长鼻紧紧握住同伴的象牙,静静守护数小时,迟迟不肯告别。 千玺途中偶遇同族海谷,整个象群都会驻足悲鸣,用自己的方式为逝去的生命默哀。送别多年前隔着围栏与他匆匆对视的陌生人。多年以后,大象甚至还会记得他当时清颤的睫毛, 曾经救助过他的恩人。时隔多年归来,一声呼唤,象群便会风尘仆仆奔赴而来,温柔相拥,赴一场久别重逢。看似魁梧庞大的身躯里藏着极致的温柔与守护。 饲养员不慎跌倒,他会立刻警觉奔来,将人护在身下,不停转动身体,化作一座移动的温柔堡垒,步步跟随,全力守护。 下雨时,成年大象用长鼻护住饲养员,小象纷纷靠拢围拢,层层身躯筑起屏障,为人类遮风挡雨。 他们用庞大的身躯守护弱小,用漫长的记忆记住每一次相遇,再用超越人类的理解力去悲伤、去共情,去爱。在大象的世界里,庞大的是身躯, 细腻的是灵魂。如果你也痴迷动物行为,探索动物生态奥秘,不妨关注并投稿动物研究刊刊,专注于动物生态学、动物行为学相关领域研究,已被知网为普 google scholar 主流平台收入,为相关学术研究、科普调研提供专业展示平台,欢迎相关领域研究者与爱好者积极投稿交流。


不舒服,好痒哦,好痒好痒好痒啊, hahaha。 hahaha。

他们说这是在保护我,可我被铁链锁在泥地,脚磨得生疼,寸步难行。当野生公象闯进来时,我只能眼睁睁的看着它逼近,任凭它欺凌孩子拴在脚边,我没有半点反抗的力气。作为一个户外运动博主, 我一直相信运动的意义就是自由与力量。但这里的大象一生都被保护的谎言所死, 母象成了生物的机器,小象生下来就遭受虐待,存活率不到一半。这真的是保护吗?拒绝其他象,拒绝动物表演, 这就是给它们活下去的希望。尽管发声微弱,可是多一点点的人知道,他们就多一点自由的空间。

你知道吗?大象其实是世界上最聪明的动物之一,它们特别喜欢跟人类玩一些小把戏,有时候会在你不注意的时候偷偷藏起你的帽子,然后等着你去找,还得意的看着你的反应。 而且,被人类养大的大象会对人更加亲近,因为在它们眼里,你几乎就像一只可爱的小猫咪。大象还拥有惊人的记忆力,它们的大脑是陆地动物中最大的,这帮助它们识别人类的声音和性别,甚至判断某个人是否是潜在的威胁。 更神奇的是他们独特的鼻子,他没有骨头,却比人类身体某个部位拥有多的多的肌肉,既无比有力,又非常灵活,他甚至能从地上捡起几乎任何东西。但有趣的是,小象一开始并不知道怎么用自己的鼻子,他们经常会踩到鼻子,被鼻子绊倒,还把鼻子当成玩具到处乱甩。直到大约一岁左右,他们才逐渐学会完全控制自己的鼻子。

大象的超异阵让他们被动的记下活着的每一帧画面,从此妈妈被杀的回忆将伴随 hope 的 一生。我本来是一只幸福的小象,和妈妈生活在一起,但有一天倒立着的闯入打破了这份宁静。他们想要夺取我们的象牙,妈妈拼死保护我,还是 被枪杀。我看着他们取下象牙后扬长而去,只剩下我和血泊里妈妈的尸体。我顾不上疼痛,却只能在旁边不断哀嚎。后来我被保护机构发现,送到了一所名为大象孤儿院的地方,这里的人给我取名 hope 换我希望,可我的希望在哪里? 铁链拴住了我的腿,无论我怎样发力都无法逃脱。尝试无果之后,眼泪落下,只能用鼻子蜷缩着抚慰我的眼眶。我的海马体是人类的五十倍,所以我时时刻刻都会想起 妈妈被杀害的那一幕。我的一生如此短暂,却多用来记载痛苦。在同样稚嫩年纪,还有一只小象也在遭受折磨,他叫立春,是贵州野生动物园受偷繁育成功的亚洲象宝宝,也是父母的第一个孩子。但在他四岁半时就被迫离开父母,前往表演场接受高强度的训练与鞭打,使得立春身体消瘦,精神萎靡, 穿上了罕见的反皱综合症。大象的一生很长,他们的寿命通常是六十到八十岁。从人类的角度看, hope 和李春也不过是个孩子,却都和亲人分离,得不到自由,在他们庞大的身躯下有一颗敏感的心,所以大象的爱和痛苦一样持久。动物求你,如同你求苍天,每一个生命都值得被温柔以待。

大象是世界上少有的能够理解死亡的动物。马来西亚的一头小象不幸被车撞死,大象妈妈赶来后就一直守在原地,从日出到日落,即使因为影响了交通被麻醉送回森林,可到了夜里,母象又回来了,没有愤怒和悲鸣,只有无声的守望。大象会在同伴死后赶跑吃他朋友尸体的猎狗和 秃鹫,然后用鼻子紧紧地握住他的象牙,一时告别。遇到其他大象的尸骨时,整只象群都会聚集在一起,用它们敏感的象鼻看验尸体, 整个象群似乎都在严肃的挨道。更痛苦的是,大象都是有超异症的,这种悲伤甚至会记几十年。他们知道死亡不是消失,而是永远不 再回来。每头大象在生命结束之前,会悄然离开象群,独自告别这个世界。令人惊叹的是,大象的同理心还会跨越物种,看到狮子欺负水牛,义无反顾的上前驱离,用鼻子卷住落水的羚羊,把它拉出水坑。即便是人类落水,也会毫不犹豫的下去救助他们有着人类的悲悯,却唯独没有人类的残忍。
