In this photo as Labi climbed onto Tata's back he "drops" his flip flop and Tata reaches for it with her trunk and returns it to him. I am sure this was planned. It just shows how well they work together. Elephant EcoValley, Thailand #AsianElephant #elephantecovalley #animal #chiangmai #mahoutsukai
