March 5th

Today Orwa challenged Teleki to a test of strength. Teleki gave a very good account of himself, until Sonje interrupted the game forcing the two boys to separate.

It was coconut oiling day for the Nursery elephants. Rorogoi and Ziwa tried to evade the inevitable, but were rounded up by the Keepers. After the oiling (which is good for the skin) all the elephants enjoy a dustbath, the bigger elephants such as Orwa, Murera, Sonje, Bomani, Qwanza, Zongoloni, digging up soil for the babies to spray over themselves.
