Little Malima’s character is blossoming and coming out more and more since Esampu, Mteto, Ngilai and Mundusi moved to Tsavo. During the public visit she waits until all the orphans have had their milk and the Keepers are looking relaxed. Then she suddenly runs along the rope cordon intentionally bumping, head butting and kicking the visiting public who were standing closest to the rope. The public obviously love this interaction and applaud, which causes her to trumpet before running off as she knows the keepers will be coming to tell her off. She is so quick though and by the time the keepers reach her she is already playing a game of rolling on the loose soil with an innocent look about her. The little elephant orphans are so very clever and they are always surprising us with their next clever antics.
