Mwana would win the award for best big sister. In one month, our Keepers watched her referee a tug-of-war, lead the Nairobi trio on walks, and let little Lenny clamber all over her – all at two years old. The first grandchild of Umani. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/updates/murera-baby-mwana

One week with Bumpy! Like any baby, he sleeps deeply and often – especially snuggled up to his Keeper, with a tummy full of milk. Rescued last weekend after his mother died in a te...

Happy birthday, Losoito. To celebrate, she's having a party in the mud bath – and judging by the splashing, everyone is invited. When our pilot first spotted her in Tsavo West, she was two years old and keeping company with a large wild bull. sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/losoito
Korbessa arrived at Kaluku as the smallest orphan in the group — and promptly took charge of all of it. She still runs the show two years later. Though the Keepers have noticed a developing maternal streak alongside the bossiness. She is growing up. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/korb...
A snare removal on the northern coast ended with something remarkable. The moment the zebra started stirring from treatment, her foals — a full kilometre away — began galloping towards her. They didn't stop until they reached her side. Learn more: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/projects/vet...
Alamaya arrived in 2015 – tail bitten off, ravaged by hyenas, barely alive. He is 12 years old now. A wild elephant finding his place in the Kibwezi Forest, on his own terms. The Maa word for brave is Alamaya. Discover Alamaya’s story: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/alam...
She arrived at just one week old – traumatised, crying, pacing her stable through the night. Today, Kaikai turns one. And she's been running Kaluku ever since she arrived. Extremely intelligent, and utterly convinced she's the centre of the universe. www.swt.bio/kaikai
Lenny, son of ex-orphan Lima Lima, lives wild in the Kibwezi Forest with his mum. Seventeen months old, small but "forceful." His name means "brave as a lion" – fitting for the son of Lima Lima, the eyes and ears of the Umani herd. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/updates...
Throwback to Tytan's first 24 hours. After his mother fell off a cliff, the seven-month-old made it to her body, then disappeared. Rangers, aircraft and drones searched. He was wild-eyed and wary – until scratches won him over and he leaned in. Hands up – which rescue stories have stayed with you?
Ndotto was the tiniest elephant we had ever seen. In August 2014, herdsmen discovered a newborn calf sheltering amongst their goats and sheep. The resourceful little orphan inserted himself into the nearest group of similarly sized creatures. Twelve years on, Ndotto is now leading a wild life.
Lasayen's story begins at a watering point. In 2014, a one-month-old was found in a community-dug well in Samburu, left behind by his herd. Now eleven, he heard the call of the wild last year – but turned up in January 2026, and again In February. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/lasayen
Kinyei was spotted by tourists in the Mara in 2018, precariously alone near a pride of lions. She found a family as one third of our Kaluku trio – the founding orphans of our Kaluku Neonate Unit – and is now growing up at Ithumba. Her story: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/kinyei
I secured $14.5 MILLION for local community projects last year, and just submitted this year’s requests for improvements in public infrastructure, climate resilience, public health and more! 📰Read more: kevinmullin.house.gov/2026/05/22/r...

Black Californians live 5 years less than the state average. Black mothers are nearly 3x more likely to die from pregnancy complications, despite most deaths being preventable. Your race or zip code should never determine your health. #BlackHealthEquity

Trump’s war of choice with Iran has caused prices to skyrocket at home. Don’t be fooled by the announcement of a potential deal, prices aren’t going down for working families anytime soon.

Sec. Lutnick previously said he cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein in 2005. But newly released records show he visited Epstein’s private island in 2012—four years after Epstein’s conviction for soliciting a minor. Americans deserve full transparency about Secretary Lutnick’s relationship with Epstein.
Harper is just too smooth, he's doing this as a rookie on some of the best perimeter defenders in the league.
