African Elephants

These babies were rescued in the wild for various reasons, mostly after their mothers were tragically killed by poachers. Now they live together at Daphnie Sheldrick’s Orphanage in Kenya. Their caregivers are wearing the green coats – they stay with the babies all the time, they even sleep with them and when the elephants are all grown up they will join the herd of released orphans in the wild.
