Baby Elephant Watch
On most days our new born calf is out and about. You might see his daily baths at 10.30am and him out in the paddock around 1pm daily. But be there early, he goes to bed in the afternoon at 3.30pm.
Our Sri Lankan orphan
We are sponsoring an elephant calf in a Sri Lankan conservation centre until she's old enough to be released into a national park.
