Saving a Snared Baby Elephant | Sheldrick Trust

[@anneh7169]

On The Sheldrick Trust site they say the mother was nearby and the baby made a beeline straight to her.I had to look it up because I could not imagine these wonderful people just leaving it on it's own. Thank you all those who help these elephants.

[@Pamlandy2]

Thank you for posting this comment. I have never seen the trust leave a baby. Especially when the family has gone. Its good to know they (or at least the mom) were not far. I really need to make time to read mt newsletter from DSWT. I am sure there is more that I missed.

[@laurawilliams7407]

Thank You for posting that. It’s wonderful that this baby will have the chance to remain with her family.

[@aliciaarden2019]

Now that's what I call a TRUST.

[@mani7263]

thank you for more intel! I figured they wouldn't let a lone baby just walk off, still!

[@dianeoxendine7619]

Where did you find that info. I’ve often wondered what happened next to these animals they save. Thanks for sharing

[@amyf6726]

@@mary-anneswanson8445 awwww❣️Are you so blessed to work for the trust that saved him? What would a poacher do with a baby elephant? Seems to me they are after adults as they tend to kill the mother and leave the poor baby with out one. I thought most were after the ivory tusks. Thank you Mary for helping keep the animals safe, if that is how you know this little cute pup was okay at least safety getting back to its parents.💓

[@carriemitch1]

Here's the lovely end to this story in case anyone was worried about what happened next: The calf’s mother had valiantly attempted to free her baby, as indicated by broken vegetation all around the site. That made it all the more gratifying to watch the calf run off into the forest once he was revived, making a beeline for his mother. We can only imagine how relieved she was to see her beloved baby emerge through the trees and be reunited at last. For the team, they were left feeling a sense of accomplishment, thankful to be in a position to right such wrongs so that this elephant family could remain intact.♥️🐘

Thank you for the end of this wonderful rescue. I was not stressing as I know they ALWAYS try to unite the babies with Mothers and herd first before they take it away to sanctuary. Amazing people, amazing work , amazing people....we are so lucky they are there!

[@shannondominguez9725]

This is an amazing team of people who do incredible work thank you for everything you do for these beautiful,intelligent,proud giants of the wild now this little baby has a 2nd chance without it he would’ve died a potentially painful agonizing death. Hopefully he recovers well & isn’t too traumatized by everything I wish this sweet baby a long life of freedom & love with his family he deserves it & he’s one more calf that gets to stay where he belongs perhaps he’ll be seen someday as a fully grown magnificent bull such proud regal beings.🌈🌈❤️❤️🐘🐘☀️☀️

[@Orangejulius8]

This is one of the best case scenarios; the baby makes it back to the herd and SWT doesn't need to take in the orphan. It breaks my heart when SWT brings in a new elephant because that means the baby will have to restart their life without a family. The good people at SWT carry out invaluable work. That's why I keep supporting them each year.

[@tarrasage4272]

Good news 😊 The mother and a bull were waiting about 50 metres away. When the calf was revived he headed straight toward his mother.❤
