The orphans came out of the stockade to the lucerne area field as usual and they met the ex-orphans Makireti, Kasigau and Kilabasi. All the elephants interacted together and had fun with the keepers.
In the bush Lualeni was very playful and active and started charging around. This is usually a sign that she is trying to cause enough distraction to steal a young baby for her group. She is targeting Bongo, Kanjoro and Orwa but the keepers are switched on to her antics and watched her closely and did not fall for her kidnapping moves.
They were all very active in the mudbath today with Vuria and Teleki being the most playful. Bongo and Vuria started a little wrestle which later became more serious and developed into a fight and the keepers were forced to intervene.
In the bush, Sities was kissing Narok, Orwa was mounting Laragai and Turkwel was using Kainuk as a scratching wall. After a lovely day, with the herd intact despite Lualeni’s tricks the dependent group of orphans returned happily home to their night stockades with their trunks swinging with joy
