Many are impressed by the story of the mother and daughter of the three German elephants who reunite after 12 years.

On the 24th of the local time, foreign media such as the British Daily Mail revealed the appearance of the 39-year-old elephant'Pori' and the 19-year-old elephant'Tana' that they met at the Halle Zoo in Germany.


In the picture, two elephants enter each of the two cages blocked by walls. An elephant with short horns is a pori, and an elephant with a small baby is Tanah. They stick their noses out of the cages as if promised, then touch each other's noses to greet each other.


In fact, these are mothers and daughters who broke up 12 years ago. Born in Zimbabwe in 1981 and moved to Germany in 1983, Pori, the mother elephant, gave birth to her baby Tanah in a zoo in Berlin in 2001. But a few years later, she separated from her mother and moved to Halle Zoo alone.

Tanah, who was 7 years old at the time of separation, grew up for 10 years and became a mother elephant who gave birth to 4 years old'Tamika' and 1 year old'Elani'. Then, as Pori was recently moved to the Halle Zoo in Tanah, the three generations had a surprise reunion.


The Halle Zoo has first separated their homes so that Pori and Tanah, whom they meet after a long time, can establish a friendly relationship. But, out of concern, the two mother-daughter elephants showed interest and favor to each other enough to greet each other with their noses sticking out over us. Zoo officials hurried to meet the elephants in person a few days later.

At first, she distanced herself from Pori, perhaps because she had her young ones by her side, but soon she was relieved of her guard against her mother whom she had met after a long time. It is known that Tana's youngsters quickly got close to playing with her grandmother Pori and drinking water together.


"Female elephants have a habit of staying with their mothers for life in the wild, and living together as a family," said Dr. Dennis Müller, a zoo operator. "It is of great significance for Pori and Tanah to reunite." He added, "We will work closely with zoos in Europe in the future so that more elephant families can live together."
