Taking care of elephants isn’t cheap! Did you know...each of the elephants at Two Tails Ranch elephants eat 250 -300 lbs of hay, 10 -20 lbs of mixed grains, 10 lbs of special elephant pellets, 25 lbs fresh produce, fresh cut bamboo, and elephant grass? Then to top it off, they wash this down with over 100 gallons of water! Talk about a big shopping receipt!
Your donation is much appreciated and will help us continue to maintain and take care of our elephants. Thank you!
