What's everyone's favorite animal to see at the zoo? The elephants, of course! The only problem is when you go to the zoo, you're lucky if you get to see them from across the distance of a football field. If you've always wanted to get a closer look at these incredible animals, there's a little-known place that will make your dream come true. Are you ready to experience this elephant ranch in Florida?
Elephants are considered a symbol of good luck, but these majestic creatures are facing extinction, possibly even in our lifetime.
That makes the experience you'll get at Two Tails Ranch near Gainesville even more incredible.
This non-profit ranch is devoted to caring for elephants in need and educating the public on their plight.
Here, you can get up close and personal with these amazing, endangered animals, with experiences including feeding, bathing, or going for a short ride on one of the ranch's eight beautiful elephants.
It's hard to believe you can see these wonderful exotic animals in Florida, especially up-close!
You might even catch a glimpse of the elephant artist-in-residence at work on his latest masterpeice. How cool!
There's a small selection of other animals that also call the ranch home, including zebras, tigers, tortoises, an ostrich, a camel, and more.
You'll also learn more than you ever knew was possible to learn about elephants through the on-site museum and tours given by very knowledgeable guides.
Tours of the ranch are available every day of the week except Thursdays, by appointment only.
