Just a baby elephant on a beach for the very first time, adding some loveliness to your timeliness today. 😊 #elephantlove #weekendmood #boost #tooting
@PaulDunphyEsquire I so love all the #wildlife photos mastodon is giving me. I'm here for the serious stuff too, around #research, #NHS, #Politics etc, but to have it leavened with so much beauty is very calming.
@ProfLouiseL agreed very calming timeline especially with the content warning feature 👌🤸‍♂️
@PaulDunphyEsquire
Which country is this lovely little fella in?
@mafeesh America I think....

@PaulDunphyEsquire
That country well known for its native elephants? 😜

Looking at the sky/sea/sand and that fact that it's a baby Asian, I was thinking Thailand, possibly Sri Lanka. I'd hate to think this gorgeous little creature had been dragged from its home to the US.

Thanks for sharing such wonderful pics though, a real day-brightener.

@mafeesh @PaulDunphyEsquire This person seems to be the source of the images, and says they were taken in Phuket, Thailand: https://www.phuket101.net/baby-elephant-playing-on-the-beach/

The real story behind it (and how I became anonymously famous) ” Stop everything and look at this baby elephant’s first time on the beach” How many times did you see such a catchline? 4 things you should know about these photos: NO, it’s not the first time he sees the sea! The baby elephant...

Thanks James,
I thought I recognised the coastline. Interesting article from the original 'tog about little lucky.

Your post gives me a chance to enjoy the photos all over again :D

@AndreaPaulRN more heffalumps!
@weaniejeanie53 My mom & I just adore this little one! Thank you for giving us such joy! ❤️
@AndreaPaulRN it’s my pleasure, I can’t see an elephant now without thinking of you and your mum!
@PaulDunphyEsquire These are awesome! I thank you for giving me a smile start to this day. Smile plus, these are great visuals for my #foreignlanguage #students to use & describe for #sentiments and #activities - doubly happy…merci.
@PaulDunphyEsquire so cute!!! How did it get there?
@svsalon @PaulDunphyEsquire I'm wondering the same thing. Don't really associate #elephants with beaches.
@PaulDunphyEsquire nice beach photos! It’s 18 degrees here in Columbus Ohio. So your photos are refreshing.
@PaulDunphyEsquire that trunk down photo is just the best thing ever
I love him 😍
@PaulDunphyEsquire I did something very much like that face plant the last time I tried to ride a boogie board. It was not pretty. But for onlookers it may have been funny. 🤪
@PaulDunphyEsquire I just signed up for this site and this was the first post I saw, so I'd say I made a great choice to leave the dumpster fire that is Twitter!
@PaulDunphyEsquire
This is welcome in mine timeline anytime... 😃❤️
The little one is having the greatest time! 🥰
@PaulDunphyEsquire thank you!!!! LOVED.IT!!!!!!!
@PaulDunphyEsquire absolutely amazing, the first picture of an elephant on the beach that I’ve ever seen.
@PaulDunphyEsquire Oh, my heart. (Sorry, just feeling a little fragile today). What wonderful photographs. Thank you!
@PaulDunphyEsquire a palate cleanser for sure ❤️
@PaulDunphyEsquire This is totally my sunday afternoon mood 😆
@PaulDunphyEsquire See, this is content I can get behind! More please! 👍
@PaulDunphyEsquire I think I’m gonna like mastodon 🥹
@PaulDunphyEsquire - that first photo is ME everyday, hoping tomorrow is going to be better. Soooo darn cute!
@PaulDunphyEsquire SOme years ago someone posted these. I have them saved because the elephant is emoting such joy. I mail every time I see these.
@PaulDunphyEsquire the first photo will never not be me.
