Mae Pon (แม่่ พร์ ) Mae Pon was born in 1981 and endured years of being ridden by tourists before her rescue. When she arrived at ENP, she came with her baby, Hansa, who tragically died at just two years old from a fatal virus known as EEHV. After Hansa’s death, Mae Pon became very depressed, as the bond between a mother elephant and her baby is incredibly strong. Over time, Mae Pon has recovered from the trauma of losing her baby. She is a particularly large female with a gentle nature and a hearty appetite. Whenever food is around, Mae Pon rushes to eat as much as she can before the other elephants arrive. She is best friends with Kham Paeng and Nong Pop, and these elephants have formed a very close relationship. Recently, Mae Pon has become a loving nanny to baby Jun at Elephant Highlands.
