Handheld radios & GPS help to keep our rangers in constant communication when patrolling in remote areas. A donation to our Guardians of the Wild campaign can help keep our teams fully equipped – PLUS, it will be matched dollar for dollar -> thedswt.org/guardians-wild pic.twitter.com/Jdz00hpPft

What a difference 1 month & the DSWT can make! It’s been a tough road to recovery for Dololo but he’s getting there thanks to milk & lots of TLC! Adopt him this #FosterFriday & help fund the care he needs while staying up-to-date with his progress: thedswt.org/dololo pic.twitter.com/gYxqMcLGU0

We have met visiting wild bulls who we suspect are the fathers to some of the wild born calves however but elephants are raised by their mothers and female relatives. Dads are far from hands-on parents & their involvement tends to be limited to reproduction only.

Sweet Jotto surpassed himself of late when he went for a wander with younger friend Merru & broke off the taller branches, passing them to his smaller friend to eat! Adopt this orphaned bull with a heart of gold: thedswt.org/jotto pic.twitter.com/eYPxMrNDQx

Striped or tusked, our Voi Reintegration Unit offers a safe haven to any orphaned animal in need. Orphaned as a foal, Ngulia was rescued & hand-raised by our Keepers. Until she’s ready to return to the wild, she’ll have a home with us. pic.twitter.com/Ilmi4I3Mr4

Previously one of the most mischievous & greediest orphans at our Nairobi Nursery, Esampu has calmed her ways (a little) under the influence of the older dependent orphans at our Ithumba Reintegration Unit. But she hasn’t lost her lust for a milk bottle… pic.twitter.com/iCAYtd3yxj

Ngilai’s story is testament to the power of your donations! This orphan #elephant arrived at our Nursery in a terrible state. His phenomenal recovery is due to his tenacity & the specialist care he received from passionate care-givers pic.twitter.com/9S780PvOLJ

Illegal charcoal production can have a devastating impact on our forests & wildlife, destroying key habitats & food sources. The DSWT/KWS Burra De-Snaring Team have been working hard to combat this threat in recent months: bit.ly/2ILyana pic.twitter.com/jumizMdEmV

Humans have Trichromic vision which means we can see an array of rainbow colours. Elephants have Dichromic vision, meaning that they see in a similar way to colour-blind humans.

Last week, the DSWT/KWS Mobile Vet initiative was in action helping this #elephant with a spear embedded in her skull! Fortunately, she has a good chance of recovery thanks to urgent treatment.

As well as trumpets and rumbles which are audible to the human ear, elephants use infrasound – low frequency sounds below the range of human hearing – to communicate across vast distances #WednesdayWisdom pic.twitter.com/a0fdN5dXDU
