Voi Unit  June   29, 2012 It was a fateful day for both the elephants and their Keepers, who were ambushed by a pride of seven lions on the Western side of Mazinga hill. The lions were very aggressive, and chased off the Keepers who ran back to the Stockades to bring a vehicle in order to save the elephants. Meanwhile the lions were trying to isolate one orphan from the rest, but very fortunately the motorized patrol arrived in time to thwart the lions and rescue the orphans. During the melee one Keeper fell and sustained minor injuries, which were treated in hospital.
