The people who take care of Namibia's wild animals rescued a baby elephant to keep it alive. They saw the baby elephant with its family in the Ugab area last Tuesday.
The animal workers watched the elephants closely and noticed something sad. The mother elephant and the rest of the family left the baby all alone. Romeo Muyunda, who speaks for the animal workers, explained that many baby elephants from this family had died before.
The animal workers knew they needed to help quickly. They decided to take the baby elephant to a special place called Okutala Etosha Lodge. They brought a doctor who knows all about helping animals. The doctor made sure the baby elephant was healthy enough to travel.
At the lodge, a special elephant doctor named Simone Hertzog started taking care of the baby. She has helped many baby elephants before and knows exactly what they need. The baby elephant feels better, but it still needs lots of care and attention.
The animal workers want to understand why so many baby elephants from this family keep dying. They are working hard to find answers. They hope their research will help protect these special desert elephants and make sure more babies survive in the future.
