Elephant Rehab

Not far from the Blixen place is a Kenyan National Park with an elephant rehab center. Shortly after arriving a group 7 of very young elephants all under 3 months came trotting out of the bush with their handlers. The were draw to us by 5 liter baby bottles filled with milk sitting on the ground They each slurped 2 of these down in less than 5 minutes!






















The satiated youngsters then treated themselves to water. Those less than 3 weeks old were very comical because they had not yet learned to control their trunks.









After water it was tim to roll in the red mud!!














The hope at this rehab is to return all of these youngsters to the wild. Most had lost their mothers to poachers.
