An elephant calf was ensnared and injured by a poacher, as detailed in the article. The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust dispatched a veterinary team to treat the calf, but the mother elephant became agitated and attempted to revive her child during the anesthesia process. To ensure the safety of both animals, the mother was sedated as well. Fortunately, the snare had not cut through the calf’s skin, and it was swiftly removed from its leg. The article sheds light on the issue of snares, which can inflict brutal wounds on elephants as they tighten over time. Additionally, the article mentions the Olare Motorogi Conservancy in southwest Kenya, where a significant elephant population resides.
