Everything is going to be alright. Elephants are one of the largest animals on earth but, at this age, they are just toddlers learning about their wild world and need more comfort than most. Help us care for orphaned baby #elephants at: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/d…

The Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) on Thursday August 26 took almost five hours to relocate a male #elephant that had been roaming around Kampung Basung, and was then released safely back into the jungle. buff.ly/2UNOsX0

These elephants came from the zoo, some of them came from the logging or riding camps to live at Sanctuary, this is their new life. To see their better life after rescued, please join EleZoom@ElephantNaturePark tomorrow. For the details please contact [email protected] – at Chang Khlan, Thailand

Only 2 people voted but was interesting is that they overwhelmingly believe that rhinos and elephants WILL NOT BE ALIVE IN AFRICA IN 10 YEARS TIME. That is pretty sad @CitysFElephants @Gerturu @rhisotope @rhinolover262 @TheRhinoFounda1 @W4W_Int

21-year-old Mulika was just a tiny calf when she was found all alone. Rescuers brought her to our care and the rest is history! We reintroduced her into the wild when she was grown and ready, and it was so successful, she's now a mum of two! #MeetTheHerd

A reminder that as gentle as elephants so often are, they are still wild animals who must protect themselves and their families. bit.ly/3z68xa5

Ever wondered how an elephant calf is born? Fun fact; An elephant calf weighs about 113 Kgs at birth and stands about three feet tall. Did you know you can support the gentle tuskers by giving them a name or adopting one through the #TemboNamingFestival?

After losing their mother and family, orphaned #elephants need round the clock milk feeds to survive. Adoptions help fund this specialist nourishment, and help give the animals you love a chance at life. Adopt an orphan in our care: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/o…
