Pregnant Elephant Returns From The Wild To Give Birth With Her Former Rescuers

Emily was an orphan when she fell into an unused latrine in 1993. She arrived at Sheldrick Wildlife Trust not long after that.

After Emily was fully grown, she was transferred to the trust's Tsavo East Voi rehabilitation facility where there is a wild elephant community. Years went by, and Emily became the sanctuary's matriarch and has been watching out for the younger, orphaned elephants ever since. The elephants Emily was in charge of came from every elephant herd that currently exists in Kenya.

On December 23, 2014, the trust was happy to see Emily come back home. As detailed in The Independent, Emily was returning to the trust so that she could give birth to her second calf in the presence of the family who raised her after she lost her elephant mother.

After the baby was born, the elephants began to trumpet and rumble to show their joy, and the keepers at the trust filmed all of this for future viewing. The herd that Emily took care of at her other place of residence was also with her, so they were there to help the baby stand.

They named the baby "Emma" and the elephants used their trunks to pick her up off of the ground. The moment that all of the elephants got together to help with the birth of a new member of their family was a beautiful sight to see!
