In the depths of the drought, we found a heroic display of hope. With her own life on the line, a mother elephant remained fiercely devoted to her baby. Shoulder-deep in mud and unable to move, she continued to protect him the only way she could, shielding him with her trunk. Tiny as he was, the calf was equally brave, refusing to leave his mother’s side. Later today, we will be sharing the remarkable mission to free this little family from their muddy prison — stay tuned. (And don’t worry: This story has a happy ending!) —— Video © Sheldrick Wildlife Trust #SWT #SheldrickTrust #elephant #love #drought #kenya
