Let's touch trunks! Kaavan the world's loneliest elephant makes friends in his new Cambodian jungle home a year after he was rescued from Pakistani zoo

[geovalin]

• Kaavan the elephant, once dubbed 'world's loneliest' spent 35 years living in captivity mostly in Pakistani zoo 
• He was rescued last year and moved to the Cambodian jungle where experts say he is now 'thriving'
• The Asian elephant had spent the last eight years of captivity alone following his partner's death
• But Kaavan has now been able to interact with other elephants and even touched trunks in a 'friendly gesture' 

The elephant once dubbed 'the world's loneliest' is now back making friends and 'living the life he deserves' a year after he was rescued from captivity. Kaavan the elephant is now thriving in the Cambodian jungle a year after he was rescued from a Pakistani Zoo, Dr Amir Khalil, of the global animal welfare organisation Four Paws has said.

The Asian elephant previously spent 35 years in captivity, and since his partner's death in 2012, he has spent the past eight years alone. However, one year on from his rescue, he is flourishing in his new home at Cambodia Wildlife Sanctuary and living an elephant-worthy life.

Happy for that elephant. That rescue organisation is amazing. They have a lot of good videos on you tube.

 

As for that bear fighting you mention, 

how anyone can get some disgusting, perverted, thrill from watching torturing of helpless animals is beyond me.  These kind of people are bad for our society.  If they openly engage is this kind of stuff in public, imagine what they are capable of doing in private...and not just to animals.
