Elephant Mother Brings Newborn to Animal Sanctuary That Raised Her
For seven years, Galana the elephant was raised inside the quarters of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust after being discovered alone, weak and fragile in the Kenyan bush.
In 2011, the trust felt they had nurtured her enough to release her back into the wild and live a normal life like the rest of her species. By making periodic visits back to the sanctuary, Galana never strayed too far from the humans that rehabilitated her and never forgot the impact and importance they had on her life. In early September, she shocked the staff at the Trust by presenting her newborn calf that was delivered in the wild not too far from the sanctuary. |
