Navann (นาวาน)
Born at ENP: October 28, 2012 Sex: Male
Navann, whose name means ‘Gold’ in Cambodian, was born at Elephant Nature Park in the early hours of October 28, 2012, to a chorus of trumpeting and elephant gossip. Navann will never work or have his spirit broken in a phajaan. 21
Though breeding is not planned or encouraged at ENP, nature takes its course, and pregnancies have occurred in the past. Sri Prae and Hope kept their romance a secret, and Navann was conceived beneath the ENP radar. It was with great surprise that we welcomed him on that early October morning! Navann is confident and demanding and, like his father Hope, enjoys clowning around and being the center of attention. When he was young, he collected a following of gran- nannies who were hopelessly devoted to him. Sadly, his nanny Mae Bua Kham passed away of old age a few years ago. Navann now lives in a large bull enclosure with a swimming pool and is regularly visited by his mother, Sri Prae.
