DON'T FORGET TO WASH THE TRUCK..... A family care for their elephant by washing it in a lake. The moment was captured of the family taking care of and bathing their elephant in Lak lake, Dak Lak province, Vietnam. Vietnamese photographer and civil engineer Nguyen Tan Tuan, 39 said, "Previously elephants were hunted in this area, now they are loved and cared for to preserve this animal. As well as bathing them they will feed the elephants with bananas and sugar cane, their favorite treats" "It is the happy scene of a family in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. It's lovely to see them happy and taking care of the elephant. This is the family of Mr. Y Vinh, a family with a tradition of taming and raising Elephants in Vietnam. Mr. Y Vinh is the 5th generation of the family continuing to take care of Elephants. In 1994 his father brought this elephant back and named it Kham Sen, at that time Y Vinh was only 8 years old." "Nowadays, the Elephants in Lak Lake are used for tourism by local people, where tourists will ride and take pictures with them." Please byline: Nguyen Tan Tuan/Solent News ??
