Nong Nooch rescues orphaned elephant

PATTAYA:-- Nong Nooch Tropical Garden is nursing back to health a baby elephant abandoned in the wild by its mother

 

Park Director Kampol Tansajja said the Najomtien elephant park recently took in 3-month-old Fa Jaem after it was seen wandering alone on Khao Anglanai in Chachoengsao Oct. 19. It finally was captured by residents of Chan­thaburi, but not before the baby pachyderm’s legs were injured by a trap.

 

The animal was taken to a veterinarian in Chachoengsao, but doctors transferred Fa Jaem to Nong Nooch for better care. It was welcomed and named at a ceremony Oct. 25.

 

Kampol said the female juvenile will be under the care of vet Padej Siridamrong and is being suckled by two cows who recently had miscarriages.

That certainly is a big-ass elephant standing behind them eh?

At Nong Nooch they will soon have it riding a bicycle and throwing darts.

Hope it won't carry oversized tourists soon.

The sad thing is his life expectancy as an orphan is not that great even with the greatest of care, many die in their infancy...
