Good morning Khanyisa! Conversations with a baby elephant.

Adine joined the elephant care team at HERD early in the morning, to say hello to Khanyisa, the injured albino elephant calf in our care. They had their morning conversations before Khanyisa lay down beside Adine, which gives her the opportunity to check her wounds on her face.
Khanyisa's story for those that are only following her story now:

On Monday, 6th January, a female albino elephant calf, estimated to be four months old was found trapped in a horrific snare. Her wounds indicated she had been trying desperately to free herself for a few days, as they were deep and maggots had started eating into the open flesh. She had severe lacerations around the back of her ears and neck that stretched around her mouth, slicing into both her cheeks and into her mouth. There was no sign of her herd anywhere.
