The tiniest baby elephant copies everything his mom does

She scratches against a tree, he tries. She blows dust through her trunk, he tries. She picks up food, he tries. It's so exciting to watch the determination on his face. He's inseparable from his mum and tries to copy everything she does. He's an absolute heartbreaker. Every time that people come to meet him, they leave with a little bit of their heart stolen away. He's hugely entertaining as he learns new things. It started when we rescued Sombun, his mother, from a trekking camp. She was still carrying tourists for miles each day, despite her being halfway through her pregnancy. His unique personality was evident from the day he was born. He would fall asleep on his feet without a care in the world. Haven is learning everything that a little protected elephant should learn. He's exploring everything about his environment. Haven is very attached to his mother, Sombun. He's always with her. Much of the time, Sombun munches away contentedly and Haven gets up to all sorts of mischief and adventures as he learns. The fact is that elephants can't use their trunks until they're about a year old, so he gets frustrated at times. This long appendage can just get in the way. He's almost three months old now and 150 kilograms can give you quite a fright. He's getting too tall to fit underneath her now, so he's learning how to duck. Integrating into the herd is vital for a new member. The elephant experts want to ensure that he and the other elephants are safe, so they're introducing him to the herd very slowly. He's already formed a wonderful bond with Sudrat, the resident matriarch and nanny. Haven will have many a happy year at the sanctuary and continue to grow and be safe.
