The Amazing Bond Between Formerly Rescued Orphaned Elephants and Their Beloved Babies

Over the years, the amazing people of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust have rescued a number of orphaned, injured and/or abandoned baby elephants. Since that time many of these elephants have since gone to have babies of their own in the safety of a wild refuge. These elephant mums include Icholta, Wendi, Emily and Thoma, just to name a few.
