Penguins they are playing in the aquarium
Enjoy watching Penguins they are playing in the aquarium. I have taken this video during my visit to Thailand in the year 2019. In the Chiang Mai zoo, there are lots of penguins. It was my first time watching penguins.
Penguins are the bird that can not fly but swim. They live on the northern side of our planet. They love cold weather. Even in this aquarium, they have low temperatures as the north pole.
There are many interesting facts about this species, they are very social birds. Penguins can not live alone. I even wonder that they walk like humans. Research shows that penguins stay alone sometimes if they feel sad or depressed. There is 18 different type of species of penguins. All of them are very expert in the swim, even the spend most of their life in the ocean.
They lay eggs on land. They spend most of the time with one mate. I love these birds. But it's a matter of sorrow that we humans are destroying their living place. We should be more careful about climate change.
Did you know A group of penguins in the water is called a raft but on land, they’re called a waddle! The black and white “tuxedo” look donned by most penguin species is a clever camouflage called countershading.
I even shocked to know that each penguin has its own personality. They even think differently, some of them are born leader some of them are hunter some has other special quality.
When it is subject of food habit they eat different food at different time. Some specialists say that they eat good food on some occasions.
So we can say that this is a very unique animal of our mother earth we need to save this species. We need to work together to save this species.

Sound of Cockatoo!!
Just listen the sound of Cockatoo.
A cockatoo is any of the 21 parrot species belonging to the family Cacatuidae, the only family in the superfamily Cacatuoidea. Along with the Psittacoidea and the Strigopoidea, they make up the order Psittaciformes
Pet cockatoos are often referred to as “velcro” birds because of their highly sociable nature and borderline obsessive need to be around the people in their lives. A cockatoo is a loving but demanding bird.
Cockatoos stand out from other parrot species with their dramatic crest feathers, dusty feathers, and varying shades of white, pink, gray and black. Pet cockatoos are often referred to as “velcro” birds because of their highly sociable nature and borderline obsessive need to be around the people in their lives. Cockatoos range in size from medium to large.
There are 21 species of cockatoos, that belong to the family Cacatuidae. The various cockatoo species have native ranges in Australia, Australasia, Indonesia, the Solomon Islands and New Guinea.

Can you find an elephant in this video. She is hiding there.
This video is from Chiang Mai, Thailand. From Chiang Mai zoo. This is a very adorable elephant. It was there when I get near of that it blow me air. Actually it was trying to tell me that he is hungry.
Chiang Mai Zoo
Chiang Mai Zoo and Aquarium is a 200-acre (81 ha) zoo on Huay Kaew Road, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand, just west of Chiang Mai University. It is the first commercial zoo in northern Thailand, established on 16 June 1977.
In 1950 the US government sent military advisers to train tribal police along the border of Thailand. Among them was Harold Mason Young, son of American missionaries, who had been born in Burma. Young started helping injured animals, and his collection started getting visitors. The Chiang Mai provincial government set aside 24 acres (9.7 ha) at the base of Doi Suthep, the mountain immediately adjacent to Chiang Mai, and the facility was opened to the public in 1957.[1][3]
When Young died in 1974, the property was taken over by Chiang Mai Province. The zoo was expanded to its current 200 acres (81 ha) footprint, transferred to the Zoological Park Organization under the patronage of the King of Thailand, and opened as the official zoo of Chang Mai Province in 1977

This is hippo!
Look, this is hippo!!
The hippopotamus, also called the hippo, common hippopotamus or river hippopotamus, is a large, mostly herbivorous, semiaquatic mammal and ungulate native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is one of only two extant species in the family Hippopotamidae, the other being the pygmy hippopotamus.
Hippopotamuses love water, which is why the Greeks named them the “river horse.” Hippos spend up to 16 hours a day submerged in rivers and lakes to keep their massive bodies cool under the hot African sun. Hippos are graceful in water, good swimmers, and can hold their breath underwater for up to five minutes. However, they are often large enough to simply walk or stand on the lake floor, or lie in the shallows. Their eyes and nostrils are located high on their heads, which allows them to see and breathe while mostly submerged.
Hippos also bask on the shoreline and secrete an oily red substance, which gave rise to the myth that they sweat blood. The liquid is actually a skin moistener and sunblock that may also provide protection against germs.
What is a hippo?
There are two species of hippos — the large/common hippo and the smaller relative, the pygmy hippo. Hippos are the third-largest living land mammal, after elephants and white rhinos. Despite their large and bulky appearance, they have adaptations to their semi-aquatic environments allowing them to move swiftly on both water and land. Their feet have four-webbed toes that splay out to distribute weight evenly and therefore adequately support them on land, and their short legs provide powerful propulsion through the water. The pygmy hippos digits are more spread out and have less webbing and, proportionally, their legs are longer relative to its body size. They both have skin tones of purple-gray or slate color, with brownish-pink coloring around their eyes and ears. They have very thick skin that is virtually hairless except for the thick bristle-like hair on their heads and tails. The outer layers of skin are quite thin, making them prone to wounds from fighting. Their flat, paddle-like tail is used to spread excrement, which marks territory borders and indicates status of an individual. Their powerful jaws are capable of opening up to 150 degrees revealing their enormous incisors.

Here I am feeding an elephant. She's getting bananas
Enjoy how I am feeding an elephant. She's getting bananas.
As the largest land animals alive, you’d probably expect elephants to eat a lot. And you’d be right; the number of calories one elephant can eat in a day could sustain a person for months, no jokes.
So what do elephants eat to grow into such huge animals? If you’re interested in finding out more about what elephants fill their humungous bellies with you’re in the right place. Read on for the definitive guide to what elephants eat.
Elephants are herbivores
Elephants are what’s known as herbivorous animals. Know what this means? Let’s double-check:
The word herbivore comes from the Latin word herbivora. In Latin, herba means “a small plant or herb” and vora means “to eat”. So herbivores are animals that eat only vegetables and/or vegetation.
Elephants feed entirely on naturally growing plants and shrubs.
Whatsoever, elephants adapted themselves to live on the green leaves nature grows on her kind breast and drinks from her eyes, to be specific from nearby water bodies. For choosing such a vegetarian diet the internal environment of their body and their outer eating parts started to transform. Now, an elephant has flat teeth to grind the leaves and tusks to rip the bark off from a tree.
Do you know the teeth of elephants are continually replaced from time to time? That’s why they are called polyphyodont. Elephants are mammals but don’t grow teeth just like us. We grow baby teeth and then replace them with permanent adult teeth.
Now, quickly get the details of an elephant’s daily diet. It is going to be too heavy. If you own a pair of glasses, clean it with ease.
Elephants eat too much!
Elephants can eat an average of 150-160 kg of food in a day! Yes, in a single day. Do you know how much water they drink? An elephant drinks an average of 40-45 liters of water in just a single day. Yeah! They can drink gallons of water.
The amount of food they eat depends on various factors, like the environment of their habitat, food availability, and other biological needs. In hot areas, an elephant drinks more water than an elephant living in a reasonably average temperate region. In some places, elephants have to struggle in search of water. In those cases, they drink a huge amount of water to compensate for the loss of water from their body.
Here’s an interesting fact for you. Do you know elephants take a long arduous journey in search of food and water? They walk 10-20 km a day daily to find sufficient amounts of food and water for the whole family.
In the Etosha region of Namibia, it is recorded that elephants living there move as far as 90-180 km per day in search of just some food! They are the real fighters of the animal planet. When they get hungry, they stick together while moving such long distances to find food. After finding it, they enjoy it together. It’s a lesson for us.
What do elephants eat?
Elephants are herbivorous animals. They eat leaves, twigs, bark, roots, fruit, flowers… everything. They even try to eat up the soul of a tree! But, it’s not possible. If anything is green nearby, they tend to latch onto it. There is no looking right or left. To sustain such a gigantic figure, they have to eat that much. A twig of a tree is just a single spoon of dessert on their plate!
Apart from that, they drink water from nearby ponds or rivers. They drink a lot of water to get them hydrated all the time. In some regions, they use water to control their body temperature.
Elephants living in different regions of the planet eat different things. But the main diet remains the same. They are die-hard vegetarians!
Let’s know about what African and Asian elephants eat.
What do African elephants eat?
African elephants mainly live on forest trees. In Africa, it is hard for them to find long grasslands. The abundance of different kinds of trees and bushes help them to sustain themselves in the climate of Africa. An adult African elephant can eat a whole tree. In the case of kids, they feed on twigs and leaves. They also eat roots, tree bark, and fruits.
African elephants are called “browsers” for their food habit. They browse from one tree to another for leaves, roots, barks, and twigs.
What do Asian elephants eat?
Asian elephants live on grasslands. They eat every kind of grass available in Asia. Sometimes they prefer to eat short woody plants and trees. In dry regions of Asia, elephants also eat thorny bushes. Apart from that Asian elephants eat leaves, twigs, fruit, bark, grass, and roots just like African elephants.
Asian elephants are called “grazers” as they graze on grasslands and feed mainly on the vegetation close to the ground.
You can read about African vs Asian Elephant, Which Is Which? Here.
What do elephants eat in the Savanna?
In Savanna, elephants eat weeds like Rubber Vine, Mesquite, Prickly Pear, etc. They also eat different parts of the trees available in the Savanna region. Trees like Acacia and Bushwillow are also preferred by elephants.
Here’s an interesting fact for you. Do you know baby elephants eat their mother’s dung to digest their food?
Do you know about the upside-down tree? You can read about Baobab – The Upside Down Tree here.
Why do elephants eat that much?
Elephants are not tiny animals that they can eat a leaf and sleep all day long. The huge body of an elephant needs an analogous amount of food. Otherwise, they cannot survive. However, the nature-mother has provided for all of us. Then why should they eat less?
Elephants eat an average of 150 kg of food and 40 liters of water per day, for the following reasons:
They need a lot of energy to sustain themselves.
They generally cover long distances per day. Moving 15-30 km with such a heavy body needs sufficient food for their survival.
In dry regions, natural water is scarce. Elephants living there drink a lot of water to keep them hydrated and to store enough water in their body for their next trip.
The most important reason, you shouldn’t miss!!!
Here’s the main reason for an elephant eating that much. The majority of the food an elephant eats goes undigested. Without digestion, their body is always in an energy-crisis. That’s why they eat a huge quantity of food to make up that loss. However, the digestion process lasts up to a day. There is no way out. They have to wait for a long day before refilling their belly again.
Here’s another important fact before parting. Do you know an elephant sleeps 3-4 hours a day? They take a nap just like us, at night under the starry sky of Africa or in the jungles of Asia.

Elephant is playing, look like sand storm
Enjoy watching Elephant is playing, look like sand storm.
Elephants are the largest land animals on Earth, and they're one of the most unique-looking animals, too. With their characteristic long noses, or trunks; large, floppy ears; and wide, thick legs, there is no other animal with a similar physique.
Most experts recognize two species of elephant: the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) and the African elephant (Loxodonta africana), who live on separate continents and have many unique features. There are several subspecies that belong to one or the other of these two main species, though experts argue over how many subspecies there are and whether or not they constitute separate species, according to the San Diego Zoo.
African and Asian elephants
African elephants live in sub-Saharan Africa, the rainforests of Central and West Africa and the Sahel desert in Mali, according to National Geographic. Asian elephants live in Nepal, India and Southeast Asia in scrub forests and rainforests. [Elephant Images: The Biggest Beasts on Land]
African elephants are the larger of the two species. They grow to between 8.2 and 13 feet (2.5 and 4 meters) tall at the shoulder and weigh 5,000 to 14,000 lbs. (2,268 to 6,350 kilograms), according to National Geographic. Asian elephants are just a little smaller, growing to between 6.6 and 9.8 feet (2 and 3 m) tall at the shoulder and weighing between 4,500 and 11,000 lbs. (2,041 and 4,990 kg). In the wild, African elephants can live up to 70 years, and Asian elephants up to 60 years.
African and Asian elephants also have a few different physical features.
The ears of African elephant are larger and resemble the shape of the African continent, while Asian elephants have smaller, rounder ears, according to the San Diego Zoo.
Both male and female African elephants have large tusks and two "fingers" on the end of their trunks to help them pick items up. Asian elephants have a single "finger" on the end of their trucks. But typically, only male Asian elephants will grow large tusks, while the females and a few males have much smaller tusks called tushes that don't always grow outside the mouth.
Tusks are large, deeply rooted teeth that evolved to assist the elephant in digging, lifting, gathering food, and defense while also protecting the trunk, according to World Wildlife Fund. In the same way that humans tend to be right-handed or left-handed, elephants can be right-tusked or left-tusked. Their dominant tusk is easy to identify, because it will be more worn down than the less dominant tusk, according to the World Wildlife Fund.
