@sheldricktrust: Toto and his Trunk We’ve been involved in all manner of orphan elephant rescues over the years, but of hundreds of calves we’ve rescued Toto is the first to be brought to us by ex orphans. On the afternoon of 1st April 2022, ex-orphans Loijuk; and her baby, Lili; Naisula; Kitirua; and Olare arrived at the Ithumba stockades with a tiny milk dependent calf in tow. Head Keeper Benjamin raised the alarm and alerted the KWS warden to come witness what was unfolding. KWS called for a rescue, as with neonates, time is of the essence. The SWT helicopter made a quick journey to Ithumba, where it picked up the calf — who, given his tiny size, easily fitted inside — and flew him to our Kaluku Neonate Nursery. Since joining our herd, hairy little Toto has stolen our hearts. Now, you can let him into yours through an adoption.
