it must have felt like to Kenya when she slept her first nights at sanctuary, finally free from big city noises. Now, she gets to fall asleep to the sounds of the wind in the trees, the bugs chirping, and the bats flying overhead.

Most of the photos and videos of Kenya we share highlight her magnificent ears. She is that quintessential impressive African elephant when she fully opens her ears. But this week’s Sunday Smile shows a sillier and not quite as regal view: her face up close, with her ears all the way back.

We’ve had an outpouring of support and shared sorrow from many of our sanctuary family. Pupy has an In Memoriam page for those of you who would like to share your thoughts and memories of her, sort of a virtual guest book.

It is with heavy hearts we share that Pupy passed away last night. 💔 Kenya stayed by her side through the night. Though we wish she had more time at the sanctuary, we are grateful for every moment she had here. Please read our full post here: https://globalelephants.org/in-loving-memory-of-pupy/

Unfortunately, it’s common for elephants in captivity
