A favourite memory with Toto: when his adopted little sister Korbessa would jailbreak him out of his stable in the evening. Korbessa is as precocious as Toto is precious – he'd never break the rules, but she's always been happy to flout them. sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/fieldnotes/april-2026

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...

Leading today is Mageno – dependable, kind to all, everyone's favourite big brother. Somewhere in that line: Toto, Natibu and Mwinzi. Days into life at Ithumba. Already walking like they'd always been there. Meet the Ithumba herd: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans
Natibu and Mwinzi are heading out into Kaluku for their morning walk. 5,000 acres bordering Tsavo East. Things to investigate, things to eat, things to attempt to climb. A very good place to grow up. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/r/kaluku-herd
A jumbo-sized treat for you. We've had some visitors to Umani Springs recently: four impressive bulls linking up with the ex-orphans. They're here for one reason only – love is in the air. But who are they courting? Take a guess and we'll let you know later this week.
Hands up anyone who's a grandparent? So are we. To 92 elephant calves. We've pioneered the rescue and reintegration of orphaned elephants – so successfully, they've been fully accepted by wild herds. Since the door home is always left open, we get to witness playtimes like this all the time.
Baby Aura's mother Arruba was raised by our Keepers after being separated from her family. Beside her is Kenia, abandoned at eight months, now one of Aura's nannies. And Mwitu, whose mother is Mweya. Three elephants. Three stories. One herd. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/donate
Imp wouldn't exist without people who donated month after month for her mother Ishanga – not yet knowing how her story would end. Those donations funded milk bottles, Keeper care, and protecting her wild family today. For the next orphan found alone in Tsavo: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/donate
Kindani has something to say on her way to the mud bath. Elephants communicate constantly – rumbles, trumpets, low-frequency calls felt through the ground as much as heard. After decades of research, scientists are beginning to understand their language. Now, so can you.
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?
Aura and Mwangaza have the best of both worlds. The offspring of ex-orphans Arruba and Mweya, they're growing up cocooned with nannies and aunties, roaming wild but with the added protection of their mother's human family too. Today, we honour Dame Daphne's birthday.
Faraja is leucistic – a partial lack of pigmentation that lightens his skin and hair. Born in 2012, raised by us after his mother was speared. Today he lives wild in the Kibwezi Forest – often alongside his likely half-brother Jasiri. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/faraja
Is there a similarity between planetary model and atomic model? Do we have “The Vision” to see it? Leenk in Bio for the full podkast and for “The Vision” song download (NOT available on streeming platferms). #TheVision #mightyonemanband #song #newsong #podcast
Throw away your bird boxes, tables and feeders. New research from the @RSPB shows that these are harbouring and spreading disease and killing off birds. If you have a garden, grow plants the birds can eat instead.

STOP, WATCH. One would think AI, being so smart would be able to recognize someone maliciously reporting videos. These people are the ones who don't deserve accounts or access to social media. They cry free speech then silence the opposition, free speech for me not for thee. I hope tiktok fails.
Have you seen this new AI documentary with Tristan Harris? It brings together voices from across the political spectrum and highlights five key themes about AI, and I really want people to understand them. Video credit: @tristanharris
Harry Enten just put the number on screen: Republicans gave Trump a +68 net approval on inflation when he was running. It’s now -5. That’s a 73-point collapse on the issue he built his entire comeback on. It’s about time.

This is the bookplate we designed to come out with our 2022 suffragette book No Surrender. At the time it felt like the suffrage colours were being co-opted by anti-trans activists, so we made something that was very clear about equality and dignity for everyone, undefined by biology or gender 🏳️⚧️✊
