The calf has found a new game!
We rolled an inflatable ball towards Luk Chai. After a few goes he got the hang of it and kicked the ball right back to us using his feet and trunk.
Aunty Pak Boon was very interested in his new game. She kept an eye on us and wanted to have a go too, but she’s too big to play soccer with the calf just yet.
Climbing Aunty Tang Mo

Now that Luk Chai and conquered climbing rocks, logs and a tyre, today he tried the biggest mountain of all. Mum and Tang Mo were lying on their dirt mound in the paddock and he thought it would be great fun to clamber over them.
Tang Mo loved the attention. She helped him climb right over using her trunk and the calf came off her back like a slippery dip. Once he was back on the dirt mound he rushed back around to her belly to start all over again.
Luk Chai Interrupts Aunty Pak Boon
05 August 2009
We weighed Luk Chai this afternoon and he’s now 132 kilos!
The aunts and mum are settling back in to their daily play sessions with us keepers, but Luk Chai likes interrupting and getting in the middle of everything.
Aunty Pak Boon is quite adorable as she can’t concentrate when Luk Chai is around.
During the play session Pak Boon was balancing on a big log with two of her feet in the air. The calf decided to climb the log and watch, and she totally lost her concentration. He then ran off to check what the other aunties were up to.
