Baby Elephant Rescued After Surviving A Poaching Attack In Nairobi
The young brave elephant was Simotua. He was caught in a snare trap and attacked with spears by evil poachers. When the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT) received the emergency call to save the animal, he had been left in the Rumuruti Forest for quite a long time.
‘Two weeks after his rescue, his wound had healed enough to let him venture out of his stockade and walk throughout the forest for the first time, as he gingerly put weight on his damaged leg."
August 12th every year is The World's Elephant Day. Dr. Dame Daphne Sheldrick, the charity's founder, wants to use this day to highlight this malignant problem that blights one of the planet’s iconic species.
