Adorable!
Advance post for #elephantwednesday

Yesterday was 'Coconut Friday'! Every Friday the orphans at the Nursery gets a special treat, they are rubbed down in coconut oil which leaves them shiny and darker in colour for the day! This helps their skin keep good condition and is also healthy for them as they absorb extra fats into their system.
Nothing can replace their elephant mothers milk so additional actions like this are necessary to keep them healthy. The orphans love this treat and it leaves them very relaxed, so it is also good for their emotional well-being.
