Encore: One Brave Little Elly! *********************** This is a #repost from @dswt via @PhotoAroundApp (Hint: Watch this one until the end. You won’t regret it!) Three-month-old Nusu already has the bravado of a full-grown bull — as a rather surprised group discovered yesterday when the half-pint-sized baby decided to show them who was boss! • This scene is only a reality through our Orphans' Project. We rescued Nusu's mother, Nasalot, as an orphan when she herself was just three months old. Today, she’s living wild with her firecracker of a son (her first calf) by her side — except, of course, when he’s off chasing other elephants! • www.thedswt.org/donate • • • Video © David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust #DSWT #Nasalot #NasalotDSWT #Nusu #NusuDSWT #ithumba #ithumbareintegrationunit #whyilovekenya #kenya #africa #magicalkenya #savetheelephants #saynotopoaching #racingextinction #jointheherd #bekindtoelephants #worthmorealive #BraveLittleElly #BraveLittleElephants #BabyElephant #Bravado #DSWT #Elephants #Elephant https://www.instagram.com/p/BtAh_uchY69/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=88a440xgrm5g

@dswt Cares for and Protects Elephants every single day. Donate if you can. ・・・ Nusu’s name is the Swahili word for “half” — a nod to his half pint-sized stature — but the four-month-old is already a bit big for his britches. The charge-happy baby has taken to chasing the (much larger) orphans into their stockades and loves to dive headfirst into the water trough to enjoy some snorkeling! • This brash little bull is here today because of our Orphans' Project. We rescued Nusu's mother, Nasalot, as an orphan when she herself was just three months old and raised her until she was ready to return to the wild.

#trunkupwines ・・・ “This baby is a lot of work!” That’s what Benjamin, Ithumba’s Head Keeper (and newly appointed lifeguard!) has to say about little Nusu. It’s true: Nusu is only ten days old, but already we have our hands and trunks full with him. He is absolutely obsessed with water; his favorite activity is to clamber into the stockade’s trough and blissfully bob around. Nasalot, a first-time mum, is quite perplexed by her son’s snorkeling antics and Benjamin has heaved him out several times to set her mind at ease. Of course, once Nusu is back on terra firma, it’s never long before he makes a beeline to resume his water aerobics! • • • Photos © David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust #DSWT #Nasalot #NasalotDSWT #Nusu #NusuDSWT #ithumba #ithumbareintegrationunit #whyilovekenya #kenya #africa #magicalkenya #savetheelephants #saynotopoaching #racingextinction #jointheherd #DSWTat40 #worthmorealive #antipoaching
