Tang Mo is extremely intelligent and very energetic.
She thrives on attention and interaction with her keepers. She is a quick learner and is very enthusiastic in all the games and activities we do with the elephants.
She is the most vocal elephant in our group and sounds like she has swallowed a rubber duck when communicating with keepers and the other elephants.
Tang Mo is very bonded to our smallest elephant Thong Dee and is very protective and maternal towards her. They are best friends and go almost everywhere together.
Tang Mo is a tall and slender young elephant with a high rounded back. She is is almost as tall as our older females. She has a kinked tail and a narrow trunk. She has no pink pigment patches on her at all and while she does have tushes (female tusks) they are not visible under her trunk.
