All animal enthusiasts have been moved by the touching scene in which an orphaned elephant tries to take a bottle without the assistance of its caretaker.
It is generally known that the remarkable work of organizations and rescue groups dedicated to wildlife conservation, preservation, and protection has profoundly changed the lives of many endangered creatures.

Many elephants have been rescued, some in worse-than-deplorable circumstances than others, the great majority of whom were poached. Bondeni was a baby when he arrived at the Kenyan wildlife rescue facility in 2019. He wandered alone in a settlement near the Chyulu Hills in Nairobi for a long period.
He was frail and frail-looking, but what most concerned his rescuers were the damage to his legs, which were badly bruised, maybe as a result of strolling near the lava fields.
He received his initial care at the Kaluku camp’s headquarters in the center; his days were full of problems, and he found it difficult to walk due to his injuries.
It took time, constant attention, and a great deal of love for her to recover. He was transported to the SWT nursery till then, where he is now being cared for.
Bondeni is two years old and has made remarkable progress; she is supported by a wonderful crew that works tirelessly to feed and care for all of the elephants.
Bondeni is fed every three hours by her carers, who generally assist her in holding the bottle, although she has lately demonstrated that she is no longer so little and can feed herself.

Bondeni clutched the bottle on her own to feed herself in one video, but when she tried to raise the milk bottle, she lost her hold and allowed her caregiver to continue feeding her.
Bondeni is progressing at a rapid rate; he has a positive attitude and is constantly nice to his carers. Sheldrick Wildlife Trust responded to the situation via his networks:
“Watch Bondeni attempt to be a great bull and carry his bottle of milk alone. He may be little, but he has a lot of personality and courage.” He is an orphan under our nursery’s care.”
Bondeni and many more elephants have survived because to the tremendous efforts of this organization. More than 160 orphaned elephants have previously been reintegrated into their natural environment after receiving veterinary care and attention as adults.
Bondeni will continue to develop at SWT’s nursery for the time being, and when he is ready, he will return to nature in one of Tsavo’s reintegration facilities.
Until then, Bondeni will continue to thrive in the company of other orphaned elephants and the guardians he already considers family.
