Adopted Elephants
 
 
All Saints’ Elephants: These baby elephants were adopted thanks to the students of All Saints’ Episcopal Day School. OLARE: Birthday: September 8th, 2008 Found: by Olare Orok Wildlife Conservancy Olare was rescued when her mother was found dying from injuries, most likely due to poaching. She has made many friends with the other babies at Tsavo East National Park, and now acts like a mother, comforting and protecting elephants younger than she. Although it was difficult for her to be without her mother, the love with which the other elephants and keepers have greeted her has helped her settle in, and she seems in high spirits, playing with the other elephants and taking daily mudbaths.

She would have not survived without milk and protection from a herd, and although the keepers looked everywhere, no nearby herds could be found. She was flown to the elephant Nursery, where she quickly became a favorite. Only two months old when she was rescued, she was too young to be afraid and followed the keepers around trustingly.

DIDA: Born: September 3, 2007 Found: Outside Tsavo East National Park Dida was separated from her mother when she fell into a man hole left illegally uncovered. She was trapped and neither her mother nor her herd could help her out again. No one knows how long she was stuck, but luckily keepers were able to rescue her and bring her to Tsavo East National Park. Because she was so little, keepers stayed with her all day and all night, bringing her milk every three hours. Hopefully, once she is grown she will one day be able to be reunited with her mother once more.
