I can remember as a kid seeing elephants at the Binghamton Zoo at Ross Park. They were always amazing and fascinating to me.  Through the years I would want to learn more about some the largest mammals of the planet.  What I have found is elephants have some of the most emotionally complex lives in the animal kingdom. If you need proof, look no further.

Thongsri is a 17-year-old elephant living at a sanctuary in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and when she sees her caretaker in trouble, she runs to the rescue.  More proof that animals have feelings like you and me.
