The Elephants and the Trees

A partially animated video Jin Pyn made based loosely on the book The Elephant and the Tree, for the kiddies to learn more about elephants and their relationship with trees.

Contains facts that even adults are unaware of!

Was broadcast on Asia's news tv - Channel News Asia, and also screened in Wildlife Asia. Read more about Wildlife Asia from other posting.



Most of the elephant footage shown is from this amazing place up in Chiangmai - Elephant Nature Park. The elephants were all rescued from abusive owners or they were orphans. They do not give rides and the brutal bull hooks are not allowed. Because they roam free, they are so much wilder - that I'm even a tad scared to go near them! And catch them sleeping on their sides and snoring away at night because they feel so secure!
