Elephants belong to an ancient lineage that extends back around 60 million years, encompassing a much broader and more diverse history than just theof the Last Ice Age. These majestic creatures, part of the mammal order Proboscidea, include three living species—the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant and the Asian elephant. But there’s far more to elephants than just their enormous size.
In the mid-1970s, Aisha, just a few days old, was rescued after falling into a well in northern Kenya. At the time, SWT was still figuring out the right formula to feed orphaned elephants. Daphne Sheldrick, who was determined to save Aisha, eventually discovered a formula that worked—thanks in large part to Aisha herself.
While Aisha’s story is tragic, most SWT stories have beautiful endings. Many orphans saved by the Trust have grown up toWildlife conservationist, Paul Rosolie, formed an unlikely and heartwarming friendship with an elephant named Dharma. Dharma was a tuskless male, which made it difficult for him to fit in with either the female elephants or the bulls. Because of this, Dharma often found himself wandering the forest of India alone, seeking companionship.
Comfort-eating antics aside, Dharma was also incredibly affectionate toward Rosolie, prompting him to view elephants as mystical creatures with intelligence so far-removed from how we define it that we fail in considering them “animals.” One of KhamLa’s favorite things to do is to hold Darrick gently between her forelegs, almost like a hug from a four-legged giant. This gesture, both protective and affectionate, is a clear sign of the deep trust and love she feels for him.
