An orphan elephant decided to appear with his young in the place where one day his life was saved, when she was just a baby. The gratitude of animals has no limits. The Elefanta Loijuk was born in 2006, was rescued with 5 months of age when he wandered orphaned by the jungle
team Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) were responsible for their care until the creature was enough to defend itself, and was returned to its natural habitat. However, Loijuk always returned to the sanctuary from time to time to visit the people who had helped her as a helpless elephant baby.
‘s visit The rescuers were already accustomed to Loijuk and were waiting for her at least once a month, because the young woman was quite punctual. However, one day he decided to visit them he arrived with a big surprise.
Loijuk arrived at the sanctuary with his newborn baby so that his human friends could meet her. The gesture was really symbolic, because the creature had only hours of birth and think that the proud mother led her to the sanctuary to present her tells us about her immense gratitude for the people who helped her.
“Benjamin was able to approach Lili (who curled up on her legs), stroked her delicate newborn skin and breathed in her trunk, letting her know who she was through her aroma.”
Lili and Loijuk found a place in the sanctuary, it seems that in fact this was the intention of the mother’s protector: to give her daughter the care and security she received in that same place.
Baby elephants are raised with the help of females that are part of the same flock and play the role of nannies. In fact, before having Lili and Loijuk had played nodriza’s role for two orphan elephant: Naserian and Ithumbah.
Now, it will be they who help Loijuk with the raising of Lili.
