Asian elephants are incredibly huge animals.
An adult elephant can be roughly 9 to 11 feet tall. Just
standing next to one is pretty intimidating. But imagine being on top of one of
them. It would be like if you had an average size man, then another man was
standing on the first man’s shoulders. Then you would be sitting on that second
man’s shoulders. That’s pretty high up.
For Leilani, it was a dream from her childhood to interact
with a full-size Asian elephant. And that’s where she found herself – in
Thailand, on a mountain trail, on top of one of those huge animals.
And then things went wrong.
