The continent of Africa can be a harsh and unforgiving place for an orphaned animal. With predators abounding and harsh environmental conditions constantly threatening, most don't live long enough to see their first birthday.
A little more than a year ago, an orphaned baby elephant was found wandering the heartlands of a small Kenyan town. Thanks to the actions and quick thinking of selfless caregivers at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust the baby elephant, aptly named Doldol, is now thriving.
