The others ignored them and headed to the mudwallow were they quickly downed their milk and ran to join a group of 5 elephant females with their 7 calves. The wild group was startled upon seeing the orphans running towards them followed by the Keepers and ran off. Siria and Shira ran to join them but Siria soon turned back as he noticed that they were moving quite far from the Orphans group. Shira on the other hand got enveloped by the wild group and disappeared with them. The Keepers called for a vehicle to assist in getting Shira back but this caused the Wild females to head further into the thickets taking Shira with them. The Keepers efforts to get her back were further hindered by the buffalo’s in the area who charged the vehicle. This coupled with the fact that night was falling, forced the Keepers to abandon their search. Wild group at the mudbath
