Baby elephants enjoy a milk feed and play in the mud in Kenya: 8th June 2020 | Sheldrick Trust

Rescued orphan elephants in the care of the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust head down to the mud bath area to enjoy bottles of their specialist milk formula and a roll in the dirt. Introduced by Head Keeper Edwin, who will introduce each of the elephants, explain a little about their reasons for being rescued and reveal what the future hold for these babies - all of whom will return to the wild. -------- Established in 1977, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) operates the world’s most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program, rescuing and hand-rearing orphaned elephants and other animals that have lost their mothers, all too often as a result of human activity. But we do much more than this. Through our Aerial, Anti-Poaching and Mobile Veterinary Units, we safeguard the natural environment and provide immediate assistance to wild animals in need. We also secure irreplaceable wilderness areas so that animals will always have space to roam and work with local partners and communities to ensure people and wildlife can live alongside one another.
