Elephants in Indonesia

December 7, 2017 by Okoro BenjaminLeave a Comment

When I was a kid I did not want to get a dog or a kitten. I did not even want toys for presents! Everybody was surprised by my wish because I expressed it from very small age and everyone was wondering why. I wanted to see how it does it feel to be next to the most gigantic animal on the planet.
