“Many people ask how elephants scratch an itch. 🐘🌿
We often see them rubbing their flanks, rumps, or heads against trees to relieve itchy skin.
But what about their backs?
Namwan is here to demonstrate her favorite solution! She has found the perfect scratching stick and knows exactly how to use it to reach those hard-to-scratch places.
The best part?
When she’s finished, she doesn’t leave it behind—she carries her special scratching stick home with her, ready for the next time she needs it!
Elephants are incredibly intelligent and resourceful animals. They often find creative ways to solve everyday problems, and watching them invent their own solutions never fails to amaze us.
Sometimes, the simplest moments reveal just how clever ~ and how wonderfully entertaining ~ Elephants can be.” ~ Lek Chailert ❤️.

BIRD WATCHING
At some point, throughout it all,
you will begin to watch the birds.
Your blindness to their splendour,
will seem suddenly absurd,
as though age is the key,
which unlocks their mighty majesty.
And as you watch the birds in wonder,
you will wonder,
how they knew all along,
that the point is in the freedom
and the why is in the song.
And all you believed, will suddenly feel wrong.
But that’s okay, the birds will then show you the way,
with their faith in flimsy wing and instinctive GPS,
their seasonal flow, the diligence in crafting nests.
Their zest,
for each sunrise - for life.
Their flow through storm and strife.
The birds see all
and from their soaring heights,
it is your life
that seems quite small.
Why care so much about control,
when surely we are all one whole
and if there must be striven goals,
could it be for sunlit souls?
At some point throughout it all,
you will begin to watch the birds,
my friends.
And nothing else will ever look
quite the same again.

Don't harm opossums! They’re harmless and actually really useful. They keep pests in check (eating ticks, roaches, rats, and scorpions), clean up dead animals, and help spread seeds. Basically, they’re nature’s cleanup crew
