Happy birthday Chang Yim!
It has been a year since Dok Ngeon gave birth to her boy Chang Yim. Yesterday he celebrated his first birthday in the Elephant Nature Park. To celebrate we made a board with photos of his birth and his current happy life in freedom with his family. As a birthday gift he receive a cake that might be the most expensive baby elephant cake, made of for Thailand exotic fruit. Well, Chang Yim was in fact only interested in the banana trees, the banana and the grass under the fruit. After picking this from the cake, he steps on the fruit to make it a fruit smoothie. The cake looked great though, and it was a special moment for all of us.
Chang Yim is doing really well. The staff, the visitors and the other elephants are crazy about him, and so is his mother Dok Ngeon. He is getting more naughty and wild every day, so it will be a huge and fun challenge to keep him a bit under control. But anyway, he is born free and he will stay free!
