#africans #Repost @africanancestry with @use.repost ・・・ The art feature of the day is an ode to the elders - the matriarchs. Where would we be without the grandmothers? Across the diaspora they hold a special place in our hearts. Read the artist’s words below 👇🏾 #Repost @asiko_artist ・・・ “Guardians of the culture. These images are an ode to my grandmother Angelika Oshilaja and all the beautiful grandmothers out there, advocates for the culture and pillars of the society.” #africanancestry #portrait #matriach #asiko #yoruba #lagos #art https://www.instagram.com/p/Clr5nRNMpQ1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Elephants have six sets of chewing #teeth that cycle through their mouth over the course of their lives, with older ones being pushed out by the new ones growing in. This means that old #elephants must use their last, worn set of molars to eat for the last years of their lives. As a result, elderly elephants fare better in human care - where we can modify their diet to accommodate their dental needs - than they do in the wild. Ambika, a 71 year old elephant at the National Zoo, is the third-oldest Asian elephant in North America. In this photo, her keepers hand-feed her soft and pre-ground foods so that she doesn’t have to chew solids with her last set of molars. #asianelephant #elephants #askmeaboutelephants #elephantcare #zoo #zooanimals #animalwelfare #matriach #goldengirl (at Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvoY2wbh6GE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1andk24021rss
