Say “Hi” to this cute little Giraffrican elephant calf, Muriel. This pachyderm broke her trunk, but was brought to Fluttershy’s Sweet Feather Sanctuary to recover. Of course her time there wasn’t danger or fool proof. After Fluttershy and her pet rabbit Angel switched minds, the latter began to cause trouble at the sanctuary. Although Angel checked to see Muriel’s trunk was healed, she accidentally sucked up the keys to the supply closet and had them lodged in her trunk. And if that wasn’t bad enough, she got eaten by a big python named Antoine. Fortunately, when Fluttershy arrived to the sanctuary and was deathly exhausted, a repentant Angel organized all the animals in the sanctuary to retrieve the keys by rescuing Muriel from Antoine, and getting her to sneeze the keys out by having the snake scare the baby elephant. After Fluttershy was healed, and she and Angel switched back, they were on better terms, and Muriel remained in good health. Her stay in the sanctuary was not the most pleasant experience, but at least she can grow up and never “forget” the sweet pony and bunny pet who nursed her back to health.
 
Here she is! I don’t know if anyone did a vector of this adorable young Proboscidean. But after almost a year I finally made one, and for a very special reason. Today is World Elephant Day! It’s all about the largest land mammals, as well as some of the most intelligent animals ever to walk the face of the earth. It’s such a shame though that throughout all of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic we only got one elephant, and she appeared in the final season of the show. I wish Muriel had her family come to pick her up. Oh well, it was a small blessing to finally see at least one of the magnificent and unforgettable beasts. Elephants are some of my favorite animals, and they deserve love and appreciation for everything they are.
