Baby elephants cried all night after being separated from their mothers — but they weren’t alone. The dedicated caretakers from the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust stayed by their side, comforting them through the night. These keepers treat every orphaned elephant like their own child — waking up every few hours to feed them, covering them with blankets when it’s cold, and making sure they feel safe. One keeper shared in an interview: “It feels the same to me as having my own babies in the same room. It’s very similar to when they were little — waking up at all hours to feed and change them.” 🥹 The bond they share is deeply human. They even sleep near the elephants so the little ones never feel abandoned. Another caretaker said it feels just like raising a newborn baby — the sleepless nights, the crying, and the small, heartwarming moments of connection. The elephants snore, dream, and sometimes even playfully wake their caretakers by tugging at their blankets with their trunks. Through this constant love and care, these orphaned elephants slowly learn to trust again — growing stronger each day, surrounded by the gentle warmth of their human family .🤍 The image is symbolic, inspired by the trust’s real work 💛 See comment section 🤍 #animals #elephantlove #elephant #elephantsanctuary #babyelephant #lovestory #kindnessmatters #humanity #wildlife #wildlifeconservation #efforts #HopeAndHealing #storytime #wholesome #fblifestyle
