Nosey Update: Nosey Downing Trees

[catbyte]

"Care Staff have enjoyed watching Nosey develop natural elephant behaviors as she has explored her Sanctuary habitat over the last four years. Recently, Caregivers were able to capture videos of her downing trees! Though they have witnessed her partaking in this activity before, Nosey’s curiosity when Caregivers come around usually means she stops what she is doing to investigate them instead, making it rare to catch these behaviors on film!

Elephants like Nosey down trees to dine on the leafy branches and nutrient-dense bark, which in the wild, keeps the savanna open and grassy for other animals to live from. The freedom to express these natural behaviors is crucial to each elephant’s well-being and a fundamental part of our care at The Sanctuary.

Everyone is pleased to also see Nosey’s ever-growing confidence as she continues to build trust with her Caregivers and seek out social opportunities with Sissy."
