Olomunyak steals his friends' food. By day, he helps himself to Alia's browse. By night, he scoops pellets from Arthi's stockade – never mind his own pile.
He's so sunny nobody minds. It just adds to his charm.

Happy birthday, Losoito. To celebrate, she's having a party in the mud bath – and judging by the splashing, everyone is invited. When our pilot first spotted her in Tsavo West, she was two years old and keeping company with a large wild bull.

As conflict forces families from their homes in Lebanon, Yolla & her team are cooking thousands of meals each day at one of a dozen WCK-supported kitchens so displaced families have something warm and nourishing to eat.
In times of crisis, people like Yolla who carry us forward. #ChefsForMidEast
It's not just trunks that double up as pacifiers - as demonstrated by Jackson! A few soothing words and a chin massage ensure Mwinzi feels suitably adored by his surrogate ‘mothers’ in this throwback video.
See how much little Mwinzi has grown: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/mwinzi
A super typhoon is taking aim at several remote U.S. islands in the Pacific Ocean, lashing Guam with heavy rain and tropical storm-force wind gusts hours before its arrival. https://to.pbs.org/4swNSH4
A total of 490 skaters from across the country took part in the 31st annual Adult Championships, held April 8-11 at the Atlanta IceForum.
Read the full recap:
After a month in the wild, Mbegu stopped by Voi and headed straight for her favourite scratching spot. An orphan of human–wildlife conflict, she now roams wild – returning on her own terms.

Aviation fuel. Ranger hours. Recovery straps. Field tools. An aircraft big enough to carry an infant elephant. In February, three orphan rescues took to the skies – all made possible by donations. Their stories are coming soon: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/aerial/feb-2026

Found at a waterhole in Tsavo East, a snare around her neck, no herd in sight. Latika arrived at the Nursery at around 18 months. She turns 6 this week. In December, she graduated to Umani Springs alongside Kerrio and Kamili.
Happy birthday, Latika.

An elephant-sized pacifier for one of our tiniest babies. Much like human infants, baby elephants derive comfort from suckling – the orphans love to mouth their Keepers' fingers. When hands are full, a bottle teat steps in. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/fieldno...
In the first weeks of the war, the Chicago-born Leo was initially reluctant to publicly condemn the violence and limited his comments to muted appeals for peace and dialogue. But Leo stepped up his criticism starting on Palm Sunday. n.pr/4ckPbCK
Under a year old and already the most curious elephant at Kaluku. First: cardboard boxes – kicked, worn as a hat, flopped upon until they collapsed. Now: a spade and a tyre she treats as throne, pillow and plaything.

In March 1987, a two-week-old elephant calf, Olmeg, was rescued. He arrived sunburnt and emaciated – and so young that round-the-clock care in the Sheldrick family home wasn't going to be enough. So Daphne built a stable. The very first one: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/projects/orp...
For one week, I proudly joined the growing tribe of Do Not Disturb maximalists who have their notifications silenced 24/7. My experience as part of the DND crew felt transcendent, albeit a bit annoying for everyone trying to get in touch with me.

The NASA moon mission completed several key milestones as its crew looped around the lunar body. It's expected to splash down on Earth on Friday. n.pr/4bWAGGz
At pre-election rallies in #Hungary, the crowd began chanting: #Russians — go home! The historic slogan "Ruszkik haza" emerged during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and was directed against the #Soviet occupation 👍
Let's do the milk maths.
Nursery babies: 16 bottles a day. Older orphans at our Reintegration Units: 6 bottles a day. Across all our orphans, that adds up to more than 260,000 bottles a year — all freshly mixed by our Keepers.

Natibu and Mwinzi are heading out into Kaluku for their morning walk.
5,000 acres bordering Tsavo East. Things to investigate, things to eat, things to attempt to climb.
A very good place to grow up.
