Just one look is all it takes.

The very first time you gaze into those gentle eyes, with lashes impossibly long, this refrain from your childhood will make more sense than ever:

I meant what I said,
and I said what I meant.
An elephant’s faithful,
one hundred percent!

Whether they’re travelling solo or in pairs, in small familial groups or large herds, elephants, you’ll discover, are not only faithful, but loyal, impish, loving, and remarkably graceful.

In other words, there’s lot going on behind those gentle elephant eyes.

Watch this video, which we hope makes your heart swell.
