New elephant baby rescued in Zambia

A new orphaned elephant calf has been rescued in Zambia. Little Kavalamanaja (pictured) was rescued a few weeks after a female elephant was found killed with her tusks removed ...

Kavalamanaja is still responding well to the team and it is hoped that after a period of quarantine he will be able to join the rest of the herd.

Report and photo of Kavalamanja:

When he was found, Kavalamanja was emaciated and bearing infected wounds on his body, his face was quite sunken in and his spine protruding. But he was instantly responsive towards staff trying to eat and drink whatever they could offer. The team rehydrated him with electrolytes and then started him on a weak milk formula, which he took to immediately.
