Hi, I’m Malee and I live in Thailand!
The elephant is my favourite animal. I love elephants because they are strong and clever. They are also a symbol of good luck here. The elephant is our national animal. On 13 March, we celebrate Thai Elephant Day.
Eelephants look very different from other animals.They are huge.They have large ears and long trunks.They can pick up and carry heavy things with their trunks.
Elephants are like us in some ways.They are very playful and love to play in the water.They are great swimmers,They are also clever.For example,they can remember one another and places with food and water after many years.Elephants are very kind too.They look after other elephants when they don’t feel well.The big elephants also help the baby ones.
Elephants are an important part of Thai life and culture. However, they are in danger. They live in forests, but people cut down too many trees. People also kill elephants for their ivory. Let’s save the forests and not buy things made of ivory. Every elephant counts.
