This eighteen months old calf was first discovered on 14th of September when I was out with Katito on field work. I was quite amazed by Katito’s experience in observing Elephants. Even just before I switched off the engine she pointed out to me saying something is not right the youngest calf. We noticed that her skin had the tell tale signs of a malnourished calf and not as playful as one would expect of a young baby. She was in a group totaling seven individuals.

ATE together with Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), African Wildlife Foundation (AWF), Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (TAWIRI) and the Maasai Community around Amboseli National Park have just concluded an aerial wildlife count in the Amboseli-West Kilimanjaro and Magadi Natron area. The exercise was the first of such magnitude involving Kenyan and Tanzanian researchers.

Up-Curved Drape Ears (Codename M0183) born in 1961 was a well known bull elephant and among the oldest currently in the Amboseli National Park. He acquired the name from his physical features—upwards curved tusks and drape like ears. Only a few Elephants are named for this reason, like a 24 years old male called Pigtail, who escaped narrowly from Hyenas by missing his tail.
