This is my friend Derek Thompson. He left his career as a Toronto firefighter to devote his life to caring for elephants. This is on the sanctuary in Thailand he and his wife Lek started.

Remarkable.

Very cool! "Memory of an elephant!"

They certainly are big animals. Below is a sign I took in Thailand from a national park on what to do if you come across a wild elephant.

Years ago, the Brookfield Zoo had a dinner for members, and the highlight was the ability to "meet" one of the elephants, up close and personal.

I remember touching its leg and being awestruck at the size of the beast.

Of course, they would never do that today.
