@sheldricktrust: Wonderful news: This morning, Murera gave birth to a baby girl! Her daughter entered the world bathed in the light of a near-full moon, perfect in every way. We’ve named her Mwezi, which means moon in Swahili. Murera chose to give birth in her stockade, the place that has been her nighttime sanctuary all these years. Her delivery couldn’t have been more seamless – in fact, by the time the Keepers heard the rumbles and rushed to her side, it was all over! Mother and baby are doing very well, while Mwana is already proving to be an excellent and attentive big sister. More to come, but we're filled with joy and wanted to share Mwezi’s first moments with you. (Word is already out amongst the elephants – this morning, every wild-living Umani orphan showed up to meet the newest member of their family!) Congratulations to our extraordinary Murera: swt.bio/murera #babyelephant #elephantbirth #elephant #babygirl #sheldricktrust

Why do you put dirt on the baby? Is it to protect her skin? Congratulations Mama

Oturu is the name we would give in Aotearoa, New Zealand for a near full moon phase. Spiritually it means that the earth is infused with maximum mauri (life force energy). What a great time for this baby to be born on. A high energy phase. ❤️

One of the signs of how much mamma trusts you (in addition to the obvious - her presence at your location) is how she stands by as you're helping her with the predator protection dusting. 🥰✨

Brave and beautiful Murera. My adoptee 🖤🐘🖤. welcome to the world little Moon. FYI the mama wants dust on the baby because her newborns scent is strong and predators hunt at night. Keeper Adan is helping mama. Mama and baby are safe in Mureras night stockade but instinct is instinct. Love to all at SWT who create and show the world this magic 🖤🐘🖤
