Elephant Bull Fishan - A Brave Elephant who Survived a Fractured Leg
Elephant Bull Fishan's Journey of Recovery - a full update.

In September 2018, one of the older bulls of the Jabulani Herd, Fishan, stepped into a deep hole and fractured his ulna bone in his front left leg.
It was a serious injury that required the attention of some of South Africa's top wildlife veterinarians. He underwent two procedures to treat his leg - which was a massive feat considering he weighed four tonnes.
For four months Fishan could not walk far distances and stayed back during the day in the stables area while the rest of the herd spent their days in the wild. Our carers were incredible, staying by his side and reading and talking to him throughout that time, something we think he appreciated more than he could show. We know we certainly did!
Two and half years later, and we have many devoted followers who follow Fishan's every step in our videos, as he walks out in the bush. Fortunately, he is walking much better than ever. He still has a pressure sore on the elbow of his leg that he injured as that is the side he leans on when resting and sleeping, freeing his healthy leg to get him up. The sore is looking much better, but he may have it for quite some time to come. We will share more information about that tomorrow, with an interview with Dr Rogers.
We have a full video update today to see his progress over the past two and a half years, as well as this full blog to read more about the procedures that took place, for our new followers.
Today, being Easter, it is a wonderful time to celebrate family and be grateful for another - every person in your family, and every elephant in our herd. We are so grateful that Fishan has gone from strength to strength and chose to never give up, and neither did our elephant care team. They stuck by him 24/7 and made sure he had everything he needed from us to get through not only physically for emotionally too.
We hope you enjoy looking back at Fishan's journey today with us, with so much love and gratitude.
