Elephants have always amazed me. Not just for their physical characteristics, but for their intelligence as well. Here you have a 6 ton creature that could easily crush the handler, but the elephant probably at least to some degree acknowledges it’s for his own good even though it might sting a bit. The fact he’s being very cooperative with the man working on him and that they don’t have to sedate the him shows just that.

[@mosantemosante2299]

When the dentist scrapes at the plaque is really the most awful feeling after drilling, so I can't imagine how tender teeth that big crusted with so much gunk would be. Even if he's flinching because it understandably hurts, he's got incredible self-control.
