Elephant Is Reunited With Her Mother and Her Adopted Mother After Spending Years Apart

When a young elephant named MeBai was taken away from her mother when she as a baby and sold to the tourism industry, a nanny elephant named Mae Boonsri who was also a tour elephant, adopted the little one and looked after her as if she were one of her own. The two were separated when MeBai was rescued by the Elephant Nature Park, where her own mother Mai Yu waited for her. In June of this year, the rescuers were also able to rescue Mae Boonsri and reunited her with her former charge.

The reunion does not just bring joy to the elephant who come and meet each other again after being apart for a long time. But it also bring such warmth and overwhelm the heart to everyone who have seen this. As you can hear from testimony of those who witness of this reunion.
