11
Born around 1962, Mae Sri Nuan was rescued from Surin Province, along with Dok Ngern, in late 2005. She came to ENP to begin her recovery from a life of hardship. Like many captive elephants, her tragic journey included forced labor in the logging industry, street begging, and providing rides at a trekking camp. Mae Sri Nuan is blind in her left eye, likely due to a slingshot injury. Although she is not the tallest, Mae Sri Nuan is the largest female elephant at ENP, with a massive head and large ears.
When she first arrived, she spent most of her time with Dok Ngern and became a nanny to Dok Ngern’s first baby, Chang Yim, and later to her second baby, Dok Mai. Despite her imposing size, Mae Sri Nuan is a gentle, nurturing, and easy- going elephant. She loves being a nanny to the younger elephants at the sanctuary. Nowadays, she spends most of her time with Thong Ae’s family, including Jenny, Lucky, and sometimes Faa Mai.
