Celebrating Fifa World Cup 2014
As the world looks on for the start of the 2014 Fifa World Cup, and following a visit from African football star Yaya Toure, football fever has gripped our keepers, and with that the orphaned elephants at the Nairobi Nursery.
Happy 80th Birthday To Daphne Sheldrick
“A world without elephants is hard to comprehend but it is a real possibility…Elephants have walked the earth for 50 million years but against a sub-machine gun or poacher armed with a spear, they stand little chance.”
-Dr. Dame Daphne Sheldrick
