New Beginnings: Baby Elephant LekLek’s Inspiring Journey at Thai Sanctuary (VIDEO)
At Thailand’s Elephant Nature Park (ENP), a young elephant named LekLek is winning hearts with her vibrant energy and playful antics.

Watch the video at the end.
LekLek and Moh Loh endured a grueling 12-hour trip from OmKoi district to ENP, a journey made possible by the collaborative efforts of organizations such as Stews 4 Elephants (S4E Global) and Future for Elephants.
Their escape from a grim future in a circus camp was facilitated by the generosity of Gertrude Andraschko, Robyn Beasley, Dr. Dawn Miller, and Miss Linee Keswani. Saengduean Lek Chailert, the dedicated owner of ENP, spearheaded the rescue mission.
Upon their arrival, LekLek and Moh Loh were quarantined to ensure their health before being introduced to the park’s lush, open environment.
This sanctuary offers them a life vastly different from their past hardships, allowing them to explore and enjoy their new home.
LekLek has adapted remarkably well to her new surroundings. Bursting with energy and curiosity, she joyfully races around her enclosure.
Although she can be somewhat territorial with newcomers, her playful demeanor is a delight.
The contrast between LekLek’s lively spirit and Moh Loh’s calm presence underscores their healing journey.
Moh Loh guides her daughter with gentle rumbles, reflecting the park’s philosophy of nurturing and respecting these majestic animals.
Witnessing LekLek grow more robust and confident brings immense joy to the ENP team. Her playful antics, reminiscent of a happy toddler, underscore the success of the rescue efforts.
Every step LekLek takes celebrates her newfound freedom and is a testament to the power of compassion.
