An update on Albino Elephant Calf, Khanyisa – 16 April 2020

As we often say, we never know what a new day will bring in the journey of caring for baby elephant orphans. Khanyisa has continued to have intermittent bouts of diarrhoea, with days or moments on again and off again, but last night it started a bit more heavily. We are keeping an eye on it, like all parents, having to be concerned by the bathroom habits of their little ones. 🤓

But as you can see in this video captured by Adine yesterday, Khanyisa remains playful, with no fever and a great appetite! She enjoyed a sweet solo “jol” (party) on the wet sand, wondering where all her Lockdown friends were and then she proudly spotted her Lammie, and hurried over for more fun and games. The little team then headed back to the nursery for milk.

We are so happy that Khanyisa’s spirits remain firm, even if her stools aren’t 🥳 We will keep you updated!
