Orphaned baby elephants take a mud bath at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephant Orphanage in Nairobi, Kenya. The elephant orphanage looks after 29 baby elephants orphaned by human-wildlife conflicts and poaching, among other causes. (Dai Kurokawa, wsj.com, April 10, 2018)
I love how the females take care of all the babies, theirs and the others’
And, does that baby not look happy?
So agree!

TLC and mud baths….sounds like the perfect remedy.

A baby pachyderm in a puddle…does it get any cuter?!
That is a great place. They take care of babies who’ve lost their mother…mostly thanks to humans.
So glad to see some humans do so much good. Thanks Helen.
feel like I’m ready to become an elephant…
No kidding. Right now, I’m all in!

I can’t. Elephants are my kin. Their distress hurts me so. To see the babies comforting each other… ahh well.
Me too Sandy. Elephants and Cows. Hits to the Bone.
