A heartbreaking picture that is viral on the internet right now shows the moment a grandmother elephant touches her trunk with her daughter and granddaughter after spending 12 years from each other.

Pori, a 39-year-old elephant, was reunited with her 19-year-old daughter Tana.

They reunited at a zoo in Germany after spending 12 years from each other.

The best part about this was that Pori also met Tamika, 4, and Elani, 1, her 2 granddaughters.

Pori was moved from her former house in Berlin to the Berg Zoo, which is located in Halle City, Germany, so she could be with her family.

Halle is located in the East-Central state of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.

Pori is currently in a separate enclosure from her offspring, but in a number of days, the 2 will be spending time together in the outdoor area so they could get to know each other, said the authorities of the zoo.

Pori is an African elephant that was born in the wild in Zimbabwe in 1981. Pori was then brought to Germany to the Magdeburg Zoo, where she lived from 1983 to 1997 when she was sent to the Tierpark Berlin for breeding purposes.

In 2001, Pori gave birth to Tana, her firstborn, who she has now been reunited with again.

Dr. Dennis Muller, the director of the zoo, said that the arrival of Pori in Halle is a huge and very important step in modern elephant husbandry.

Dr. Muller added:

Pori’s arrival in Halle is an important step in modern elephant husbandry. In the future, all elephant herds in European zoos should be cared for in such natural family structures. Today we have come a great deal closer to this goal.

The elephant population in zoos is monitored as part of a conservation breeding program, which is capped as the EEP.

Experts from different zoos determine new herd compositions and the resulting animal moves.

When it comes to the wild, elephants are known to live together in family groups. Each group is led by a member of the family, it’s usually the most dominant one.

Female elephants and their daughters are known to stay with each other for their entire life.

Young male elephants leave the herd as soon as they become sexually mature.
