Nursery Unit  July   4, 2011 Today there was an Elephant Rescue alert from Mt. Kenya, this time a tiny male calf of about 6 weeks old who had a deep machete cut across his face. He was rescued at a place called Mumbushi and has been given that name. The rescue team fed the calf a bottle of milk, cleaned the wound and inserted antibiotic ointment and green clay before loading him in the Rescue Plane and bringing him to the Nairobi Nursery. He was very traumatized but trusting of the Keepers.
