Bungalu grips his milk bottle with his trunk fingers — not strong enough to hold it all yet, but determined to pull his weight.
A baby elephant survived a month alone after a lion mauling. Now he has a family again
In February 2026, a 10-month-old African elephant later named Bungalu was found wandering alone near Bungule in Kenya, bearing deep claw marks from a lion attack and riddled with parasites. After surviving a month without his mother's milk or herd protection, including a lightning storm, he was rescued on March 1 by Maasai locals and the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, who flew him by helicopter to their Kaluku sanctuary. Now 16 months old, he has bonded with keepers and drinks from a bottle using his trunk's two prehensile fingers.
