Nursery Unit  May   16, 2012 Kilabasi has always been somewhat remote from both the other elephants and also the Keepers, but she has chosen Balguda as her favourite baby, even allowing him to suckle on her little breasts. He loves her very much, and it is wonderful to see the affection these two have for one another. Balguda spent the entire day next to Kilabasi, suckling and browsing near her. It was the same with Wasessa, who only became a loving mother when she was transferred to the Voi Rehabilitation Centre. This evening, Barsilinga was very weak as a result of teething, so he was put on a dextrose drip to give him strength.
