Nursery Unit  April   2, 2012 It was a very sad morning, for little Kerio passed away at 6 a.m., despite our best efforts to save her. All the orphans walked off into the forest in a somber mood, understanding that Kerio was no more, probably from Kihari, who occupied the adjoining stable and was witness to events. At 11 a.m., as soon as the first milk feed had taken place, there was a heavy downpour of rain, which sent both the visitors and the elephants scuttling off for shelter. Little Kithaka was first to exit the venue, running to shelter in his stable. Thereafter loud claps of thunder scared the orphans, who all huddled close to their human Keepers for comfort and protection. Later, when the rain subsided, they enjoyed slipping and sliding in the mud, especially playful Naipoki and Sities.
