Orwa began to get fond of Sonje until she began to push him around. Now her prefers to remain close to the Keepers, and avoid the mudbath if the others are romping around in it. However, today the elephants decided against the mudbath since it was cool, so Orwa went in, and had a lovely time, while the others just walked along the line of visitors.

There has been a great improvement in the condition of little Barsilinga, who normally remains close to the Keepers. Today Naipoki came to collect him, and he pushed her away. Naipoki, not respected his age, pushed him back and it turned into a wrestling match in which the Keepers had to intervene. Orwa, who is a very gentle elephant came to help Barsilinga. As the orphans were coming for their noon milk feed and the open mudbath hour, Barsilinga wanted to lead the three small orphans, refusing to be overtaken.

Now that Orwa is becoming stronger, he enjoys challenging the smaller girls such as Naipoki, Ishaq-B and Kihari to show dominance, but has a difficult time because the small girls usually team up to defeat him.

After the 9 a.m. milk feed, it was Coconut Oiling today. The small elephants such as Kithaka, Barsilinga and Balguda were anointed separately to the bigger orphans, who become a bit too exuberate during the soil dusting that always follows oiling. During this process Kanjoro and Orwa engaged one another in a pushing match, which attracted Kasigau, who, because of his longer tusks, proved a deterrent to the smaller boys! All enjoyed the mudbath today, little Balguda splashed by Tano, Sities and Kihari a process he greatly enjoyed while Kithaka and Barsilinga were dusted by the Keepers. Meanwhile, Murera had her own mudbath prepared by the Keepers after her oiling, and the abscess on her foot is showing signs of healing daily.
