Hi everyone thanks and although the elephant is chained in the picture it is at an elephant sanctuary for elephants that needed to be saved from the wild and the elephants are only chained during presentation to visitors otherwise they are free on a reserve.

We feel sorry for the elephant because it is not free; because of the chain as Bonnie said.

Beautiful....except the chain. :(
