A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Wade, I wonder how many people see the irony and the sadness in the fact that the elephants are used to tear down their own habitat.

Mary Ann,
I don't know if that is the case, or an effective/economical "cut and burn" reforestation conservation/regrowth method.
Wade
Wade,
I notice lots of males, are they more photographed because they are so amazing looking? or are they the hardcore workers?
Rebecca
REbecca,
Male's of a majority of animal species are better workers. As they are less bitc, sorry, temperamental, although war horse's as a rule were mare's if there was a need to sneak into an enemy camp with a surprise ambush. Mare's remained quite, where as the Stallions not being able to stand it, tended to whinny/nicker to the enemy mares and snort/scream to the enemy stallions thus alerting the sleeping enemy, and foiling the ambush plans.

Wade,
So is bitchy an animal quality?
I think all males are better workers!ha ha
when I die if anyone mentions my name I do not want them to say ,"what a great worker"
Rebecca
Wade, there is one male in the first picture, and three bitches in the second picture, and I have my glasses on. Some bitches just rub me the wrong way.

Mary Ann,
In the second picture, elephant on the right doing all the work with the white things coming out the side of his face. What is he?
Wade
Rebecca,
Temperamental the word folks like to use. It defines the female gender in the animal world. You decide if the shoe fits.
Wade
Wade, you are correct. It is a bull, just not one of the amazing looking ones.
Mary Ann
Mary Ann,
Either he is young, or it is a testosterone thing given who he lives and works with.
Wade
Wade, have you seen any studies regarding this type of testerone thing?
Mary Ann
Mary Ann,
There have been extensive studies done one testosterone levels, ranging from domination to diet, to environment.
