Elephants Are People Too - Lola The Baby Elephant
Lola the baby elephant helped me learn something: Elephants grieve just like we do.
Lola passed away from a blood clot embolism in her heart. She was supposed to have surgery but obviously didn't make it that far. Lola was three months old.
When you look at the photo to the right, you can see the grief in the elephants' eyes. The mood is one of somber and loss. Elephants normally look like they are happy but in this photo you know the sadness is there.
When us humans lose someone we love and care deeply about, it shows in our eyes and faces. Grieving is a long process and I wonder if it's the same with elephants? Lola's Mom is 22 years old. Will she feel the effects of losing her baby for as long as she lives like we would? I guess time will tell.
Thank you Lola for teaching me that elephants are people too! Rest In Peace little girl.
