A Twisted Kiss 3I9878

Elephants entwine their trunks and touch each other gently, even going so far as to reach into each other’s mouths. The moment appears tender rather than aggressive. Their faces are affectionately placid. If elephants can smile then these are the faces of happy pachyderms. We refer to it as social bonding when it occurs in other life forms. To us, it’s simply kissing, hugging, and saying, “hello.” I wish that I were privileged enough to understand them at their level and able to share a moment like this. Watching as an outsider looking in I am humbled and awed. We know so little of a world that we are more than content to destroy out of bloodlust and greed. #Elephants
