He is one of the Stars of the IMAX film Born To Be Wild, a remarkable little Elephant (the equivalent in age of a human baby of that age) who came to the Nursery on 22nd May 2009 when just 5 or 6 months old, minus his tail and with hindquarters and legs chewed by the hyenas who came to feast on the body of his poached mother near the Chuyulu Entrance to Tsavo West National Park, not far from Kilaguni Lodge. From the outset little Kilaguni, as he was named, was different to most others who come in at that age. Old enough to understand that humans were the arch enemies of his kind, he knew he was being helped, and was grateful to have been spared torn asunder by predators, even by the enemy. He was flown to the Nairobi Nursery, arriving just after dark, and our first words were too calm for comfort, for normally a calf of his age comes in fearful and aggressive, with just one mission in mind to kill those that are responsible for so much suffering. Kilaguni was exceptional. He was calm, gentle and loving, despite the pain of his wounds which had to be cleaned and dressed, plus the usual prophylactic injections as a precaution against pneumonia that he also had to endure. Instead, he simply sucked on the fingers of his Keepers for comfort, and took the milk and water that was offered to him with no hint of resistance. We feared that he had lost the will to even try to live.
