#EarthDay 🐘 When the Earth Shook, Love Stood Firm 🌍 During this week’s 5.2-magnitude earthquake in California, it wasn’t just the ground that moved — it was hearts too. At the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, a powerful scene unfolded as a herd of African elephants responded to the quake in the most extraordinary way: by protecting their young. As the enclosure trembled, the elder females — Ndlula, Umngani, and Khosi — rushed to form a tight, alert circle around their two 7-year-old calves, Zuli and Mkhaya. Their bodies formed a living shield, their ears wide with awareness, ready to face any danger. One calf ran into the safety of the group. The other — brave but unsure — stayed just outside the circle, until teenage Khosi gently tapped him with her trunk, reassuring him: “You’re safe. We’re here.” This is who elephants are — deeply social, emotional beings who look after their own with love, loyalty, and fierce protection. 💚 When danger comes, they stand together. Let’s do the same — for them. 📸 Story source and Credit to The Associated Press @AP https://apnews.com/article/earthquake-elephants-san-diego-zoo-safari-park-82311a59f471f5f48319c33f1c47f702 #GMFER #Elephants #MarchAgainstExtinction #SaveTheElephants #WildlifeFamily #ConservationMatters #SanDiegoZoo #ElephantProtection #NatureKnowsBest #CompassionInTheWild #AP San Diego Zoo EarthDay.org Elephanatics Transfrontier Africa Mizu Eco-Care Global Sanctuary for Elephants Elephants Without Borders RARE Sri Lanka The Black Mambas African Parks
