Lilayi Elephant Nursery

in #nature7 years ago

Another Zambian treat, one of only two in the world, Lilayi Elephant Nursery is a place for rearing and rehabilitating orphaned Elephants.

They currently have 5 of the smaller one.

It's a 12 year program till their eventual release and these guys are fresh out of the bush just starting out. Most of their mothers were killed by poachers or they became separated from their heard during the confusion around poaching.

Even though these guys are still fed with milk, this little one is testing out some straw.

omg beautiful and lovely baby elephant

Poachers are a big problem. They should be shot. Glad that there are elephant sanctuaries set up in Zambia for their young. And hopefully one day the will be able to roam free without the poachers

nice animal thank you follow you blog and vote...

Wow. Only if poaching will stop in Africa. Great species of animals going into extinction. This is a great idea

Wow! Such a beautiful sight.....

What a lovely baby elephants. They so big yet so cute :)

Please be the person who is the god of godliness

So good to read about your good work @mandela, will you release them into the wild or do they remain in captivity? Would they survive if you had a male / female mix? Do poachers leave them elephants alone if they are in a reserve? We need to keep awareness up on elephant poaching!
