In early March 2024, Mara Elephant Project (MEP) and Olare Motorogi Conservancy (OMC) reported an abandoned elephant calf in the Enkuyianai area of the Maasai Mara. • The calf was found in the company of an adult bull. While his giant friend could offer companionship and protection, he could not provide the years of nurturing care and, crucially, the milk that is essential to an infant elephant’s survival. To be absolutely certain of his situation, MEP and OMC rangers observed him throughout the day, hoping that a passing herd might adopt him. • Sadly, that was not to be. The bull moved off and other elephants paid the calf no heed. Instead, he caught the attention of the famed Enkuyianai pride of lions, who were watching him with great interest. A lone, infant elephant calf is very vulnerable to predators. • KWS greenlit a rescue, but the window had closed to fly him out that day. Instead, OMC rangers guarded the calf throughout the night, ensuring he remained safe from the resident lions until our Keepers could arrive by plane the next morning. • Read the full story on our website, where you can choose to support Olomunyak's journey through an adoption, at: https://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.or... • Established in 1977, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) operates the world’s most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program, rescuing and hand-rearing orphaned elephants and other animals that have lost their mothers, all too often as a result of human activity. But we do much more than this. Through our Aerial, Anti-Poaching and Mobile Veterinary Units, we safeguard the natural environment and provide immediate assistance to wild animals in need. We also secure irreplaceable wilderness areas so that animals will always have space to roam and work with local partners and communities to ensure people and wildlife can live alongside one another. • More Information about the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust can be found on the website ▶ https://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/ • Adopt an Orphan in need ▶ https://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.or... • Facebook ▶ / sheldricktrust • Twitter ▶ / sheldricktrust • Instagram ▶ / sheldricktrust
