Many users loved watching the baby elephants at play. “Cutest little babies. Love them,” commented a user.

Some users raised the issue of human-animal conflict. “The noise of the vehicle is not disturbing, nor are the lights. I suppose it may serve as protection to humans, but to the animals it’s an intrusion,” commented one.
