In June 2022 we told you about a female calf who required assistance because her mother was unable to nurse her. The calf was paired up with another new calf and his mother in order to be able to feed, however she still required supplemental formula to ensure her survival. We are pleased to report that with support from AES and the Little Rock Zoo, the young female is doing well!
The mother elephant is receiving additional food twice a day to assist her in producing enough milk for her natural-born and adoptive calf and the two youngsters also receive extra food three times each day to help sustain them. Our partners at the Life at Oozie Village Ecohut send their appreciation to AES donors for their life-saving support.
