When she was a few days old, Moyo the baby elephant almost drowned while trying to cross a flooded river. She survived, but was in danger of being attacked by a pack of hyenas. Luckily, Wild Is Life sanctuary rangers saved her just in time!

 

A beautiful new friendship 

Wild Is Life founder, Roxy Danckwerts, took Moyo in and the two formed a beautiful friendship immediately. “She knows my voice, my smell and somehow knows where I am at all times. Moyo is one of those animals with whom I have formed an extraordinary bond of friendship, trust and love.” says Roxy.

Growing up

Moyo is now 14 months old, and not aware of how strong she is, or how big she’s gotten.  Her raids around the house are getting a bit more difficult for Danckwerts to handle. Still, she says that it will be very sad to say goodbye to little Moyo.

 

”Letting go will be hard. However, I am so determined and so sure of this road that I have chosen. I want the best for the elephant children, and that best is freedom to roam and to make their own choices.”
