Elephants in Zoos

Elephant Family by karina_jambrak

Here we see an illustration for an upcoming book that shows a small packy family as they walk across the desert during a full moon.

Save the planet by simeon1994

Here is a nice painting that shows a mighty packy walking across the planet Earth while carrying a city on its back. I have a feeling this is supposed to be symbolic of something, but I’m not really sure myself.

Here we see two packys from Hwange National Park, as they both enjoy a refreshing drink at the waterhole.

In this picture from the Dallas Zoo, we see a packy getting ready to enjoy a nice big pile of hay all to itself!

In this picture from somewhere in Africa, we see a herd of packys on the march in search of a good waterhole to enjoy a nice drink. Look closely, & you’ll see a grazing zebra in the background.

Here we see a mighty packy from Kruger National Park, as it peacefully walks down the road while a car with safari tourists approaches - cameras at the ready!

In this picture from a zoo somewhere in the world (sorry, the source didn’t say where this was), we see a packy with hay on its head walking straight towards the camera person.

Here we see a packy from somewhere in Africa, as it stands majestically in a big yellow field of grass. Also, if you look closely in the background, you can see a giraffe standing by that tree.

Here we see a mother packy from Ouwehands Dierenpark, as she snacks on some leaves & branches while her baby practices eating as well.

View of the Large Imported Elephant by Taguchi

Here is a painting that’s found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is by the Japanese artist Taguchi & was completed in 1863. It illustrates a man delivering a packy as an imported gift to Japan, as the packy stands peacefully & eats some hay. What I like about this piece is how the packy is depicted in this older Japanese style & is probably how many people imagined these wonderful animals before actually seeing them.

Asian Elephant Watercolor by Aleksandra Foster

Here is a nice watercolor painting that shows a packy taking a nice stroll. It’s a nice touch to see the actual watercolor paints & brushes the artist used for this piece!
