Imagine being the centre of a tragedy, the likes of which you are unable to understand – your entire family either killed, or running for their lives, dispersed far and wide in every direction, and yourself suffering a deep wound in the right hand jaw, so deep and serious that part of your jawbone breaks away. You find yourself alone, suddenly so alone that there is no-one to care for you. You walk – and walk – and walk, becoming more and more thirsty because the place which was once home to George and Joy Adamson, namely KORA NATIONAL PARK is a semi desert environment, a stretch of extremely arid and hostile, thorny bush-land in the far Northern Frontier of Kenya.



Extreme starvation and dehydration in a baby elephant is always life threatening, as is anaesthesia, and it is for this reason that we delayed putting his story on our web-page. However, he is such a brave little chap, and despite his injury, he is feeding well, and becoming stronger by the day. He is a very endearing little calf with some of the biggest ears we have ever seen on one so small which makes him look just like the legendary “Dumbo”so we now share the story of this gallant little bull elephant with our supporters, knowing that he will then have an extended family that will care, and pray for his full recovery in the fullness of time
