She’s the eldest elephant here, so we made her food into little creamy balls for her to swallow easily. 她是這裡最年長的一隻大象。 因為漸漸失去咀嚼的功能（年輕大象的咀嚼力是可以直接咬碎一整顆大南瓜的喔！你會聽見哐啷哐啷的南瓜骨頭破碎聲），我們會把草、水果、穀類弄碎再加水搓成一搓搓的泥球，一顆一顆丟進她的嘴巴裡！然後她每次都超興奮超開心的 💜🐘 小知識： 你知道嗎？大象的臼齒被食物磨久了也是會磨損，食量大的大象沒了臼齒就無法進食。當前方的臼齒被磨損，後方的就會慢慢生長並向前推進，然後把前方臼齒擠掉，並取代其位置。 大象的臼齒是陸續長出，一生中上下左右各有6顆臼齒供替換，共有24顆，而且隨著年齡成長，臼齒會越來越大。大約二十五歲就是他們最後一顆臼齒就會慢慢生長，而當最後一顆臼齒也被磨損，大象便會因為無法進食而死亡。 👼 Elephant molars eventually wear out. Without their teeth, elephants are unable to ingest food. When molars at the front wear out, new molars at the back push old molars forward until they fall out. Elephants grow molars continuously. Most elephants have a total of 24 sets of molars, 6 on each side in their lifespan. The sixth set of molars start to grow slowly around the age of 25; this would be the last set of molars in an elephant’s lifetime. When these wear out, the elephant will die from starvation. #workforelephants #謝絕所有大象娛樂活動 #大象志工 #tailand #changwatkanchanaburi #kanchanaburi #elephant #nature #wildlife #love #care
