#trunkupwines #bekindtoelephants @dswt ・・・ It looks like Malkia and Tagwa have been working on their synchronized slurping routine! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While milk may seem like a simple enough necessity, it took years of trial-and-error for Daphne Sheldrick to develop the first formula that could sustain orphaned elephants. Our late founder’s legacy lives on through successes like Malkia and Tagwa, who would not be alive today were it not for her groundbreaking work.

Interesting about the hair! I didn’t know that. #trunkupwines ・・・ As you may have noticed, Tagwa is quite a bit hairier than the other babies at the DSWT Nursery. Her fuzz is a sort of biological blanket; she was rescued from the slopes of Mount Kenya, which can get very chilly, and it would have helped her stay warm there. Nelion and Teleki, fellow orphans who also hail from the Mount Kenya area, sported similarly hairy looks when they were babies! • To learn more about Tagwa’s rescue story, visit: www.thedswt.org/tagwa • • • Photo © David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust #DSWT #Tagwa #TagwaDSWT #elephants #whyilovekenya #kenya #nairobi #dswtnursery #africa #magicalkenya #savetheelephants #nairobinationalpark #saynotopoaching #racingextinction #jointheherd #DSWTat40 #worthmorealive
