If you want to celebrate the matriarchs in your lives tomorrow, this one is for you. From trailblazers like Sagala to the carers and teachers who help us navigate hard times, Mother’s Day is a wonderful opportunity to honour someone special with a gift adoption: https://t.co/0660salKdQ Whether you choose to adopt for your mum, or to celebrate a friend or daughter who is on the journey of motherhood, in adopting an orphan, you share a message of love, whilst supporting generations of elephants in Kenya. Critically, your gift can help raise motherless orphans and protect those now living wild who have started their own families. And, there's still time to set it up. Your gift adoption comes with a personalised certificate sent on the day of your choosing, and a year of foster parent updates from our Orphans’ Project. So your recipient can stay connected to their elephant family and watch them grow.

Hang out with Kaikai for a minute. Curious and full of fun, this ten-month-old little girl turns everything into a toy – and the tyre is one of her favourites. Sometimes she likes to rest on it. Other times she shows it who's boss – something she likes to do with the Keepers too! They've given Kaikai her own designated patch overlooking the milk-mixing area, so she can supervise bottle preparation each morning. More from the orphans: https://t.co/7BeLeWf9cI

Elephants, both mothers and other adult females in the herd (often called "aunties"), stand over, surround, and guard their calves to provide protection, shade, and reassurance. This behaviour is a cornerstone of their highly social and protective nature, ensuring the safety of the young, especially when resting or during threats. Reassurance and Comfort: A mother will often stand directly over or beside her calf, using her trunk to touch, guide, and soothe it, reducing fear and ensuring it stays close.
