Thank you for being responsible about charity choices online, and acknowledging your limits! Its a valuable skill for protecting yourself and your mental energy both. Wishing you luck with schooling as well, and have a great day!
Thank you very much for your kind words <3 : )
I'm knocking out three asks with this one (the other two were anonymous - the charity anon and then the other charity anon - sorry I can't answer you directly, but I understand why, so no worries).
I actually read the original ask at the beginning wrong - it was a petition, but for the same reason, I'm not going to post stuff to charities or petitions. And also because some people have requested I not because I really mean this blog to be a happy place without people having to worry about anything when they come to look at elephant pictures. (Not to keep going over this - I just wanted to make sure that all the asks did not think I was ignoring them)
If my blog inspires you to go find an organization that helps elephants, though, go for it
You all are the best!!
Here are three elephants for the three of you : )
Day 838 of posting pictures of elephants.

A baby Pallas cat was born in the Helsinki Zoo, look at this tiny baby who bleps!
The Korkeasaari Zoo celebrated the birth of its first pallas cat and they gave the news on 10 august 2023 but the kitten in the photo is already 2 months old and she is healthy.
While the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) categorizes the Pallas cat as a species of "least concern," their numbers in the wild have been declining. These cats inhabit the vast and harsh grasslands and mountain steppes of Central Asia. Manuls are part of European zoos' conservation programs aimed at safeguarding their future. Korkeasaari Zoo contributes to the protection of wild manuls during this year's "Night of the Cats."
As pups, Elephant seals are very curious of their surroundings and often go up to investigate photographers (who aren’t allowed to touch them and instead have to sit there getting poked and crawled on by these very large babies)
Another rainy morning here but that's just creative fuel for the Groundhog baby jazz band! (In the front is half a hollowed Cantaloupe that I ate and used as a bowl for carrot pieces, they currently could sit in there, they are so tiny.)
I am today years old when I learn there actually is an animal species called dik dik and they look like this
From Wikipedia: A dik-dik is the name for any of four species of small antelope in the genus Madoqua that live in the bushlands of eastern and southern Africa.
