An Afternoon with Baby Elephants at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

- Our Sr. Web Designer, Scott, and his wife visited the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Nairobi, Kenya, in early November 2016.
Scott: "It’s a short 15-minute drive from Giraffe Manor, where we were staying, and the hotel organizes daily group visits for guests for a $50 tax-deductible donation.
"We were free to walk among them and pet any that were interested in getting attention. Our 45 minutes passed so quickly, I would have thought it was but a dream if not for the elephant trunk marks on my jacket.
"The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is on the front line of elephant conservation. To date the trust has raised over 150 orphaned infant calves and reintroduced some into the wild that have gone on to have babies of their own."

I think of the trauma these little ones have suffered and am so thankful they are in a safe and loving place.
so cute the older one in front actually turns around to check if all is ok or all is follwing
God bless these amazing creatures and the people who care and love them.
And may God place Daphne Sheldrick's soul in eternal peace 1934 -2018,she was the brain behind this venture.May she rest in peace and thanks to her invaluable work.
R.I.P Dame Daphne Marjorie Sheldrick, 4 June 1934 -12 April 2018 . Your work was exemplary and invaluable thanks for your efforts.
Thanks for this, Pietro. We are in complete agreement, and she will continue to be an inspiration to us.
So sorry to hear she had pass away

It's example of people who do positive things on this planet that make me proud to be human.
I hope human society advances so far that it masters knowing how to live with wildlife while also conserve their ecosystems.

I LOVE to hear the ELEPHANTS' RUMBLES AND TRUMPETS. THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL WONDROUS BEINGS! Totally;-)
They love their bottles. So happy to see them eating and loving life.
Babies everywhere...God bless the Carers...and these precious babies..🥰
Who doesn't love baby elephant parade in the bush at Sheldrick Trust. Love what you do!
God bless Dame Sheldrick for not giving up after her husband's death but creating a wonderful sanctuary for orphans who experience such devastation in their early lives can come & be loved by people who work there & other orphans who have similar experiences
She did this to honor her husband & was able to bring joy back into her heart & to continue this with her children & grandchildren
God bless all of you such big hearts
Ohhh, they are beatiful and so cuteeeee, good job keepers,well done.
Thank you so much for looking after theses beautiful elephants ❤❤❤❤
Thank you guys, I pray the baby with the hurt leg gets better.
I wondered about that too. 🙁🥺
@@terde9651 That's Luggard. Mother poached and he wss shot 2x but was found by DSWT, rescued and found: healing, friends, fun and much love before as a baby ellie........he didnt make it🤔 3 years later? He had some good short yrs. Because of them
😢 of joy watching this. They are SO loved but I look at their eyes and wonder what they have seen. There was one with a swollen back leg? Hope nothing serious? Thanks for sharing; love&light to all and the amazing staff ♡ ♡ ♡ 🐘🐘
The poor baby with the swollen leg was Luggard, one I had adopted for more than a few years. He had serious injuries which the wonderful vets and caregivers tended and did everything possible to heal and alleviate his pain. He healed enough to at least enjoy being part of the elle herd there, playing and forming attachments with them. When I learned that he’d died, it was some time after he had needed to be moved with his other age grouping to their next step in still protected park, but no longer in the nursery area. It broke my heart, but sadly, it seemed almost unavoidable. I
wondered how he would be able to keep up with these now much bigger, adolescent elephants or reach water holes in time of drought, escape predators? If only it had been safe for him to remain at the nursery… But that wouldn’t have been safe for the babies, most likely. Or a normal life for a growing male elephant. I am grateful that he knew kindness, love and caring for his life there at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. ❤️
Thank you for caring and loving those elephants. Wish I could be there.💖
How lucky these people..they can look after the Elephants..❤
Thankyou for shares the video ,Thankyou for all your hard work to save the baby elephants life ❤️
Awww bless them heartwarming to see the love n trust between babies n their carears 💕🐘🐘God bless you all for the wonderful work you do you’re all angels 👼 👍🐘💕
So happy to see they are well looked after. It's extremely heart warming !💕❤
I was wondering why these babies are all rushing home. How cute and loving are all these elephants. God bless your good work
They're so sweet! Yes, David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is a phenomenal organization. We're huge fans of their rehabilitation efforts.
They rush back, because they're fed milk when they get there. Not real milk, but the kind elephants can digest.
@@sytesstealurdata7808 thanks. That's so great! Makes the service even more humane! Wish governments would spend more money on all these things than on weapons of destruction and annihilation! 😢
Great video. It actually showed some things that I haven't seen before, and gave me a clearer picture about the work that is done at this Trust.
We're so glad to hear that! Yes, can't speak highly enough of DSWT.
Look at them...look at the babies...😍🥰
A second God Bless to all helping to care for Africa's very iconic animals & carers of animals all over the world, He is watching
Lovely video, thank you. I hope to visit next year to see my mini herd of adopted orphans 😊🐘😊🐘😊
Слонята такие милые и прекрасные создания, я хочу с ними играть каждый день☀☀☀😘😘😘❤❤❤🙏

Hi Willem! This is the music used here: freemusicarchive.org/music/Chris_Zabriskie/Divider/02_-_Candlepower
These keepers are taking very good care
You've got Luggard (the dude with the busted back leg) on film playing around! Thank you for this awesome footage.
Hi T'Ian - have you been to David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust? You sound like a fellow fan! Thanks for your comment, we're glad you enjoyed the video :)
+Andrew Harper not yet :( However, it's on the bucket list. I fell in love with elephants because of Shirley who is now retired in the Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee. She is 69 years old. :)
Luggard is one of my fosters, so I love seeing him with the other beautiful elephants. It would be amazing to have the chance to visit DSWT and have this up close experience. Thanks for the wonderful video!
Of course! We hope you get the chance to visit one day, and thanks for fostering :)
How wonderful! We hope you get to visit DSWT some day :)
Excellent video,so cute❤❤❤❤❤

Grandiosa obra social Gracias a la organización Sheldrick Trust 🙏
Awesome..thanks so much for sharing
God bless you!!!
Oh wat happened to one of the beautiful babies,wd handicapped hind leg😥😥😥💔💔💔💔💔💔😥😥
true im going to ask to 😭😭 please take care love
Another good feeling bud to start my day.
The best work ever.
Seeing the baby elephant limping but trying to drink milk is so heartbreaking😢😢😢😢😢
💕💕💕BEAUTIFUL
I wish all the animals and birds which are now kept in cages all over the world by human due to any purpose may be cared and treated if needed and then be freed in forest on atleast in national parks so that they can have a free and happy life. It is their right. They should not be caged till death.
It is to be a vast researched about the natural milk of a mamma elephant, so that we can make same kind of milk to provide to orphan baby elephant. In it orphaned baby will not deprive from normal growth, health and normal strength in their youth .
Everybody waiting for the VVIPs to come. What a wonderful welcome to these poor blessed kids

I love elephant 😍
Good service
I love you 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️😍😘😘😘😘😘🙏🙏🙏
lovely job. i wish to volunteer to work here
They r beautiful how could they tell them apart
Why is one of the baby elephant's knee so badly swollen?
Brenda Deckard shot by poachers left to die
Спасибо за видео❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ without adults how will these elles turn out …… what will they believe?
Hermosos bb❤❤❤😂
To think that each one of these beautiful creatures represents a mother who has been killed is sickening
Надо же, маленький елефантик бежит к бутыльке🐘🐘🐘
❤
Theyre so obsessed with there milk hahahs yum yum!
Is there any reason for the green coats. They seem quite cumbersome ?
I want to do this so bad!
I really wanted to know how the elephants know the time for milk..??
There are keepers with the elephants at all times to protect them from lions in the park and ensure they are all back in time for feeding. Baby elephants are also very intelligent and hungry animals, so they are inclined to keep to their feeding schedule once they learn it.
+Hai Van Nguyen I've also read recently that some of the babies know it's almost milk time when they hear the walkie-talkies hissing and the keepers talk to each other on it. :D
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘🤗
The one elephant that was limping at 1:40 😭
That baby elephant had been shot by poachers, but was expected to make a full recovery! Not to worry - it's in great hands ☺️
oh my gosh! wishing the baby elephant a speedy recovery x
+colormyworld90 It's a permanent disability unfortunately. His name is Luggard. When he graduates from the nursery, he's moving to an area called Umani Springs where it's more "forest" than Savanna. He won't have to travel hundreds of miles to look for water if he decides to live in the wild.
very good
Who is the baby with the damaged leg?
I could watch baby elephants all day.

Como eu gostaria de ser uma voluntária para cuidar dos bebês elefantes.
I wish to work with baby elephant! How can I get?
¿Y ese que tenía la pata fatal?
Wonder why they love that dirt on them so much?
Green anjels
why do elephants tumble in mud ? And also why the keepers throw mud on them?
To protect from hot sun. Stay cool. Hippos do it too
Why in some videos you push these wounderful elephants away from milking
It's very possible that the elephant being pushed away just wants more and has already received his/her ration of milk.
Got milk 😋
Ya saben que les darán su lechita ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼👍👍👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰
Aw they r beautiful what a wee shame dor rhwm they kokk rhat happy with thw eifhr caeing ppl
Mais l'un d'eux a un soucis au genoux.
this rushed feeding is poor substitute for the calmed feeding time with mother....
PLEASE! PLEASE!! PLEASE!!! Order the needed surgery on the INJURED Back Right Leg of that elephant that is almost crippled!
What is the delay or status on that ellie? Please update!
Are u awaiting funding? What?
It NEEDS 2B ADDRESSED...🙏🙏🙏
