Ariela is presently a maghost for BAZOOF! She wrote this story since a podcast about elephants was going in the magazine so that they could complement each other. In her words, “The main thing was elephant cowboys. I wanted to write a story about elephants, but I don’t know animals that well (especially elephants), so I focused on the people who care for them.”
