-
The Surprising Truths: Lesser-known, need-to-know facts about elephants that reveal just how remarkable they are.

2017 NOSEY is rescued
In sanctuary
Nosey is an elephant who’s being held captive by a notorious exhibitor named Hugo Liebel. Liebel uses Nosey for rides and shows—forcing her to perform unnatural tricks so that he can make money. Liebel has been cited by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for nearly 200 animal-welfare violations.
