Ena the Gentle Giant








Ena the 14 year old Sumatran elephant is totally devoted to her 
Mahout. 
He seldom spoke to her - preferring instead to communicate by gently stroking her head and patting her ear.
He rescued her from the Sumatran forests and together they now live in Bali.
Their unspoken trust, respect and love for each other was palpable.
