Every elephant has special quirks and qualities that make them unique. For Latika, it’s her tiny trunk! She has a unique style of browsing to compensate for this, going down on her front legs into a comfortable position and then pulling at the long grasses. In her bedroom, however, she loves how easy it is to enjoy all the loose greens and lucerne. We like her style, stockpiling extras atop her head! (Watch to the end to see her adorable technique) It’s understandable why Latika doesn’t take this bounty for granted. We rescued her in October, after an abandoned calf was reported with a snare slicing into her neck. Like so many orphans of this brutal dry season, and undoubtably exacerbated by the snare, Latika was left behind when she could no longer keep up with her herd. But now, Latika has a future and a family with us — and you can become part of her herd by adopting her!
