Nanny keeps the peace between baby elephants Wan Mai and Pyi Mai

Wan Mai was a little too rambunctious for little Pyi Mai.

Edited to add: The nanny is Sri Nuan, who is a supernanny and grandma to all the baby elephants. I've been watching her since I discovered baby Navann in 2012. See below for Sri Nuan's story. She's almost 60.



"Watch how the nanny does when the baby elephant Wan Mai made the PyiMai frustrated at Elephant Nature Park, Please watch until the end."
----------------------------------
Mae Sri Nuan (Gentle and Feminine Mother) was born around 1962. She was rescued from the Surin Province in late 2005 and arrived to ENP with her now adopted daughter Dok Ngern in mid January 2006. Sri Nuan’s last job was street begging, but she has also worked in trekking and possibly logging. Sri Nuan is blind in her left eye, most likely from a sling shot injury. Though not necessarily the tallest,Sri Nuan is the biggest female elephant at ENP. She has a huge head and very large ears. Despite her imposing size she is a very easygoing elephant, though quite protective of her family group.
