I’m an Elephant

I’m an Elephant 

I’m a very gentle animal.

Don’t be fooled by my size or my roar.

I’m very friendly and obedient.

I can survive in the wilds where I’m very protective of my young.

I will do everything to ensure the safety of my babies.

I have a long trunk which I use to grab food and water to bring to my mouth when I’m hungry and thirsty.

I have huge ears and tusks.

Many elephants live in the wild where they are with their family and run in the herd.

Some elephants perform in the circus or reside in a zoo.

Elephants in the circus have a trainer who coaches them to do tricks to entertain the crowd. 

Circus elephants can stand on their hind legs and do balancing acts when properly trained. 

They need lots of practice and care from the circus staff. 

Elephants enjoy being visited by children and are very affectionate.

They also love to be with their family caring for their young.

They also take care of their sick and elderly.

In the wild elephants exist in savannahs, forests, deserts and marshlands and forage for vegetation, nuts, fruits and water for their nutritional needs.

As a domesticated elephant we are trained for the circus and go on the road or we live in a habitat designed for the zoo’s where we are visited.

I love peanuts and enjoy children visiting me and I love caring for my babies because I’m an elephant.

I’m a Yak

 I’m a Yak  Strong and steady, built for the mountains where the air is thin and the snow never leaves. Some say I look like a giant, shaggy cow, but I am far more than that. My thick fur keeps me warm when icy winds blow, and my sturdy hooves help me climb the highest peaks. I live where few others dare to go, high in the Himalayas, where the sky touches the earth. Up here, the wind howls, the rivers freeze, and the ground is covered in snow for most of the year. But I am made for this life. My heart beats strong, my breath is deep, and I can carry heavy loads across rugged paths that no cart or wheel could ever cross. I do not live alone. Yaks are herd animals, and we move together like one great, furry wave across the mountains. Our herd can be small, just a few families, or as large as a hundred strong. Females (cows) and their young stay together, while the biggest males (bulls) sometimes wander alone or in small bachelor groups. But when the time comes to protect the her...

You can see me in the fields on farms I am up at the crack of dawn I assist the farmer with his crops by carrying them to market. I am a favorite at kids birthday parties too. I love when children ride me around as they smile and pat me gently. I am a small equine. I’m a little horse.  I can carry more than my weight when I haul a carriage and payloads. I love grazing in the grassland. I am a social animal. I’m very friendly and agreeable. Sometimes I can be stubborn but for the most part I am very cooperative and productive. There was a time when I would play an important role in delivering mail before the advent of the railroad. The pony express operated for nearly two years starting in 1860 and enabled mail delivery from the East coast to the West coast. It was a coordinated deliv...
