The Sanctuary’s Maintenance Team created a large dirt mound for the elephants years ago. Over time, weeds and baby trees had sprouted through the pile, but that didn’t stop Minnie! She uprooted some of the plants to make space for herself and joyfully rolled around in the dirt.

The elephants take daily supplements to keep their bodies healthy and strong. These supplements come with a scoop that can't be recycled — but it can be upcycled into an ornament! For the full step by step on this EleCraft, check out our latest EleNote: elephants.com/news/elenotes/…

We hope this season is filled with joy and happiness for you and all of your loved ones. Wishing you a wonderful holiday on behalf of The Sanctuary’s Staff and resident elephants!

We were honored to be featured on the TODAY! This segment that aired on Friday was filmed in September and beautifully captures the Donna we knew and loved. Thank you, Today, for providing a glimpse into Sanctuary life and sharing our mission! today.com/video/an-insid…

As we reflect on 2024's growth and achievements, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for your incredible support. We look forward to continuing our vital mission as we prepare for another year—and a new chapter in The Sanctuary’s history. Happy New Year!

We are overwhelmed with the generous support of our donors who raised $1,692,315 during the 2024 Year End Campaign! THANK YOU for making home and herd possible and ensuring an incredible start to 2025. Together, we are creating a better world for all elephants!

Osh met the female residents of Asia Habitat at a shared barrier! Nosey and Osh sparred, a behavior often seen in social bonding among African elephants. The pair displayed affiliative and playful behaviors, showcasing a positive and dynamic connection! youtu.be/ZKkhGLBy8cM

It’s a snow day in Hohenwald! Sukari headed outside for a winter snack — the only elephant at Africa to venture into the snow! As always, the elephants at The Sanctuary have access to heated barns and are staying warm and getting attention in their care.

The snow has melted, but not before we caught a short video of Edie scooping it up to eat by the trunkful! Nosey also snacked on a bale of hay outside while Edie tasted the snow and ate donated Christmas trees.

While of course The Elephant Sanctuary is a haven for elephants, we welcome other species in our 3,060 acres too, like this owl Africa Barn Care Staff photographed near the barn. In addition to owls and elephants, The Sanctuary is home to turkey, deer, turtles, coyotes, and more!

We celebrated Sissy’s 57th birthday on January 26th! This birthday marked 25 years of Sissy living at The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee — happy birthday to our longest-time resident! youtu.be/NqjNI9vBFiA

It has been two years since Artie arrived! Caregivers celebrated his 42nd birthday and arrival date with a giant bamboo letter “A” and two donated Christmas trees decorated with hay tinsel and orange slice ornaments. Artie also received one of his preferred snacks, watermelon!
