Kaikai and Keeper Joseph were walking in November when she stopped, lifted her tiny trunk, and smelled the wind – turning her head to and fro. Sure enough, Joseph heard wild elephants moving, just out of sight. She's only months old. But already, she's looking out for her family: set.bio/kaikai

A neonate orphan has lost its family, food source, and protection. Our Keepers fill that void – sleeping beside them, swaddling them, hand-picking their greens, scooping mud onto their skin. Offering round-the-clock care, for as long as it takes: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/n...
