A keeper feeds an orphaned baby elephant with milk from a bottle at the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage within the Nairobi National Park, near Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, over the weekend. The orphanage under the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is operated by Daphne Sheldrick, wife of late famous naturalist David William Sheldrick. The orphaned elephants raised by the trust will be returned to join the undomesticated elephant population in Tsavo National Park, where David was the founding warden from 1948 to 1976, when they mature, usually between 8 to 10 years old.
