The orphans fling trunk-fulls of red earth over their bodies after enjoying a mud bath to protect their skin from insects and the sun. Environmental consultants Mick Baines, 63, and Maren Reichelt, 36, witnessed the sight in Tsavo East National Park in Kenya. The elephants are part of a herd of orphans being cared for at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust at Ithumba. The trust rehabilitates the elephants, many of which have gone through traumatic events at the hands of humans, before releasing them back into the wild.</p> <p>Picture: Specialist Stock / Barcroft Media</p>http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/14973807427http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/14973807427Thu, 29 Dec 2011 09:22:00 -0500elephantsanimalswildlife<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwk2eqmAP31qbko1eo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p>4 days old…</p> </blockquote> <p>Photo by: <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://njwight.tumblr.com/post/14859523277/family" target="_blank">njwight</a></p>http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/14860525611http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/14860525611Tue, 27 Dec 2011 08:26:52 -0500elephantcutewildlifeanimals<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwk4yvVBy41qkiolko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Photo by: <span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikereys/" target="_blank">plαdys</a></span></p>http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/14562637824http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/14562637824Wed, 21 Dec 2011 09:16:06 -0500animalswildlifeelephant<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvs9sj6OBO1qkiolko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Photot by: <span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/clepsydre/" target="_blank">Clepsydrée</a></span></p>http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/13824580987http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/13824580987Tue, 06 Dec 2011 08:07:30 -0500wildlifeanimalselephant<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lu2cmoa86B1qkiolko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Photo by: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cennydd/" target="_blank">Cennydd</a></p>http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/12269700164http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/12269700164Wed, 02 Nov 2011 22:37:35 -0400elephantanimalswildlifeSouth Africa<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltwtvmxN5u1qkiolko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Photo by: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fwooper7/" target="_blank">fwooper</a></p>http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/12147260592http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/12147260592Sun, 30 Oct 2011 23:04:34 -0400Kenyaanimalswildlifeelephant<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltr6kaeh161qkiolko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Photo by: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/68505590@N05/" target="_blank">kimvanderwaal</a></p>http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/12015998396http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/12015998396Thu, 27 Oct 2011 21:52:57 -0400elephantsanimalswildlifeKenya<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltpb8zs7Jh1qkiolko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Photo by: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wodjamiff/" target="_blank">rogersmithpix</a></p> <p>Read more about the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/asp/orphans.asp">Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Orphan’s Project.</a></p>http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/11974305013http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/11974305013Wed, 26 Oct 2011 21:40:01 -0400cuteelephantanimals<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltec9lydQ51qkiolko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Photo by: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vidyo/" target="_blank">RayMorris1</a></p>http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/11720906765http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/11720906765Thu, 20 Oct 2011 23:27:20 -0400animalsKenyawildlifecutebaby animalselephant<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lt6qevnhhk1qkiolko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Photo by: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/soepvlees/" target="_blank">soepvlees</a></p>http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/11551704088http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/11551704088Sun, 16 Oct 2011 20:52:06 -0400wildlifeanimalselephantsNamibia<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsxc37c9w31qkiolko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This is the moment a baby elephant was shielded by its mother as a dust tornado raged just metres away.</p> <p>Picture: MARTIN SNEARY / CATERS NEWS</p>http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/11333767117http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/11333767117Tue, 11 Oct 2011 19:04:00 -0400Africaanimalselephantswildlifenaturelandscape<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsvhb0WVHk1qkiolko1_r2_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Elephants drink water in Kapama Game Reserve, Limpopo Province, South Africa</p> <p>Picture: Heinrich van den Berg/Gallo Images/Barcroft Media</p>http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/11291693588http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/11291693588Mon, 10 Oct 2011 19:01:00 -0400elephantanimalswildlifeblack and whiteSouth Africa<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lskjkgTjSQ1qkiolko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Photo by: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/63537962@N06/" target="_blank">Nicolas Bonnefon</a></p>http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/11255843908http://anelephantblog.tumblr.com/post/11255843908Sun, 09 Oct 2011 22:00:41 -0400wildlifeanimalselephant<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lso4iywaom1qkiolko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Photo by: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/aasgier/" target="_blank">Ferdi’s -
