ErinOne of the local staff, Sulis first saw the baby elephant when she had lost her trunk in a snare, but she was fat and healthy. However over the following two months she got thinner and thinner and struggled to keep up with her herd. Finally she was so weak the herd left her. They returned once, but couldn't help her and they were forced to move on in search of food and water.
So the rescue team stepped in. She was very thin, very weak and ready to die. She was scared of people and suffering depression from the trauma of losing her mother. She received medical care and intravenous fluids to rehydrate her. Her appetite has gradually increased as she eats cut food and fruit. Her eyes are brighter and she is adjusting to the company of humans. SIES volunteers took turns camping with her at night and being with her much of the day...and she clearly liked the company. Baby elephants are very sensitive and emotionally vulnerable. If she had been left alone at night she could have died from loneliness. |
