A male calf, aged approximately 6-7 months old was first sighted by visitors wandering on his own below Aruba Dam in Tsavo East National Park. The calf was crying out, clearly distressed, infact it was the calf's cries that first alerted the visitors that something was seriously wrong. The visitors spent much time watching the desperate baby, and it was evident the calf was obviously abandoned and extremely vulnerable with no other elephants in the area, and a pride of lions fairly close by.
