Pinnawala, the March of the Elephants.

At least once a day,the Elephants from Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage in Sri Lanka are taken down to the river for a bath. To do this they cross a main road and walk down a street to the river. It is quite extraordinary, and moving.
Look out for the three legged elephant. She had a foot blown off by a landmine during the civil war. She has adapted to walking with three legs very well, you will see her remaining front leg has grown and curved inwards to help her balance.
This was a lovely experience, watching them walk down to the river.
