Hutchins, M., B. Smith, and M. Keele. “Zoos as Responsible Stewards of Elephants.” In Elephants and Ethics: Toward a Morality of Coexistence, edited by C. Wemmer and C. A. Christen, 285–305. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2008. One simple question is fundamental to ecologists’ understanding of the natural world: Do hungry animals take more risks to find food? This should be true in theory, because wild animals perpetually weigh the risks of starvation and predation. For most species, it is nearly impossible to measure continuous changes in health. As a result, many theories about risk and reward in the animal kingdom have been around for decades but have yet to be tested. Altman, J. D. “Animal Activity and Visitor Learning at the Zoo.” Anthrozoos 11, no. 1 (1998): 12–21.

Santosa says BEC was given two months to find new investors and restructure the business, during which Hass’s NGO, the Jakarta Aid Network, fed their elephants and paid the keepers’ wages. Reports of underfed elephants amid Bali’s purported pivot towards sustainable tourism after the pandemic have reignited calls for a rethink of Bali’s elephant-tourism industry.

Esala Perahera is celebrated annually with a series of colorful processions in veneration of a sacred relic, believed to be a tooth of the historical Buddha, enshrined in Sri Dalada Maligawa, the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, in Kandy. Normally held according to the lunar calendar in July–August, this year Esala Perahera ran from 1–15 August. Alongside traditional cultural performances, the processions traditionally feature numerous elephants adorned with ornate garments and decorations.

A new home

Personality traits:The elephant is reluctant to move and when it does, she does so with an altered gait. Later in the foraging trip, when seals had plumped up to 35% body fat, they rested just before sunrise. Only 30% of their rest dives occurred during the high-risk daytime. Gradual shifts in body condition and behavior over the 220-day foraging trip accumulated to an impressive six–hour shift in average rest time by the end of the trip.

Santosa says BEC was given two months to find new investors and restructure the business, during which Haas’s NGO, the Jakarta Animal Aid Network, fed their elephants and paid the keepers’ wages. Although Onoda’s story is an extraordinary example of loyalty, as said by Manson; it is too an example of how we humans often dedicate large proportions of our lives to seemingly useless or destructive causes.

In February 1944, Americans arrived and overtook the island. Most of the Japanese Army surrendered and died, except for Onoda, who managed to hide in the jungle.

The female elephant seals, also large but not on the scale of a sperm whale, have devised a different solution - eating huge amounts of small fish. But it is laborious to catch enough small fish to meet the energy needs of such a large animal. Savage-Rumbaugh, S., K. Wamba, P. Wamba, and N. Wamba. “Welfare of Apes in Captive Environments: Comments on, and by, Specific Groups of Apes.” Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science 10 (2007): 7–19. Staff said they still feed the elephants, but do not know whether the food is paid for by the owners or donations. In the car park, they offered a ‘selfie’ with an elephant for a fee, but refused to show the areas inside where the elephants were being housed. The owners of the camp did not respond to Al Jazeera’s requests for a response to the allegations.
