Yeti

I met Yeti yesterday, a young orphaned elephant who was caught in a snare two years ago. A young biologist from the Wildlife Conservation Society showed me her ankle where she’d been caught, still pink and scarred. But now Yeti’s fight is a parasite in her belly. She’s been very unwell with it and last week had no appetite at all, very sad for a young elephant who should be fat and strong. But yesterday, Yeti seemed full of energy. She’s eating again, lots of milk and supplements (which seem to be thick stems covered in some tasty nutty stuff), and hopefully she’ll be fully on the mend soon, though she still needs lots of help.
