It's not all milk bottles and mud baths. Sometimes, the job description is just: play.
Our Keepers are with the orphans 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They sleep beside them at night, walk with them through the bush by day, and yes – they play. Because for a young elephant overcoming grief and learning to be an elephant again, play is everything.

Love isn't all about roses or grand gestures. At our Nursery in Kenya, it looks like a Keeper dragging a matress onto the lawn so a sleepy (yet playful!) orphaned infant elephant can enjoy a rest.
In fact, elephants have a way of working themselves into your heart and this Valentine's Day, we'd love to help you find your orphan match – the orphaned elephant, rhino or giraffe whose story captures your heart.

It's been a grueling year, but I finally finished removing 11,375 pounds of trash from Virginia Key's North Point Park! 42,215 pounds removed in total over eight years. If you'd like to support my work, please consider donating to my Patreon https://t.co/XbjUdy8EEp
In less than a decade, the number of calves mothered by our ex-orphans has doubled (and then some), with at least 91 babies having now been born into a wild life. These precious lives are a testament to the ripple effect of every orphan rescue, giving life to generations of elephants.
This miniscule miracle Sia (a mini me of their mother Sagala) was born on 19 January! You can read about all the known wild-born calves at https://t.co/Zpnintl3BH
A whole enamel pot full of homemade birdseed! 🐦🌾🙏
And the best part: the wooden spoon becomes their favorite spot.
Besides feeding them, the best thing for wild birds is a natural garden full of wildflowers and shrubs that attract birds.

Where there are beavers, there is water 💧
The driest spring in more than a century is unfolding here in Britain, and the effects on land, farms, rivers and wildlife are already stark.
In this photo, the deeper green marks the area kept wetter thanks to the beaver wetland 🌿
Elf is a great fox dad! 😍 He is tirelessly playing with his little ones to school them and to make them stronger and more agile. It may look rough, but he is actually gentle whilst teaching them how to get out of a neck hold, when pinned down to the ground by a challenger...
PS:Elf is moulting and also seemingly got caught in a fence wire or similar somewhere, hence the peculiar fur loss on his brush. He has had long-term mange protection and should be fine. 🦊 #fox #foxes #foxcubs #cemeteryfoxes #cubs

The swan cygnets on their first swimming lessons 🦢🐤
A few chicks were reluctant so mum took them back to the nest, but dad continued to the lake with others 🦢
Watch them all pile onto mum's back when they get back😍
When Charlie was no bigger than a bluebell. He bonded with Maddy from the very first moment he saw her. The bond is still very strong eight years later.

PSA- If you haven’t spoken up about the fact that women in Gaza had to use tent scraps for menstruation, had to undergo c-sections without anesthetic and had to have their wombs removed to save their own lives please STFU about #InternationalWomensDay
Thank you
THE DEER HUNTER was released 47 years ago today. Winner of 5 Academy Awards including Best Picture, and an unflinching look at the impact of the Vietnam War on small-town America, the story of how it was made is proof that the wounds of war run deep...

This is the official Police response to whether children can play in the street.
Motornormativity exists everywhere, in this case, prioritising the potential feelings of drivers over the independence of children. How utterly depressing.
I heard someone talking on @r4Today about leaving dog hair out for birds to use in their nests
*If pets have been treated with certain flea treatments, this could kill the chicks*
