Nursery Unit  November   22, 2011 Mutara, Shukuru and Tano reported to the new baby’s stable before heading out, Mutara and Shukuru monopolizing Kithaka, so Tano waited for little Sasab to emerge, but due to the rain the two babies were left indoors, and the Girls had to eventually leave without them. The sun came out in time for the mudbath, so the two new babies were the first to show up before the visitors. Cameras clicked. When the older elephants came, there was a lot of pushing and shoving between Turkwel, Tano, Sities and Naipoki until Tano took little Sasab aside, and began patting him with her trunk, allowing him to suck on her ears. Turkwel then managed to wrestle tiny Kithaka from Sities and Naipoki and walk him along the line of visitors, Sities and Naipoki following hoping for a chance to get close to Kithaka, while Ishaq-B and Kihari kept their distance, chewing on branches. Layoni has become greedier than Dabassa, always first for milk feeds, and screaming when his share has finished.

Shukuru with Kithaka
