Baby elephant stuck and helpless rescued by female elephant

A baby elephant was stuck in a concrete gutter built to bring the water pumped into the water point. Lions were around looking at the scene waiting for the right moment to attack. The mother elephant was calling her baby and was stressing all the elephants around. She was chased by other elephant. A new herd of elephant arrived, lead by a old matriarch. The old female saw the baby elephant stocked and did everything she could to save it. During half an hour she tried to get the baby out. Every elephant at the moment was stressed. The old female gave up several times, but she came back every time. She finally managed to get the baby out using her trunk and tusks. Once the baby saved, she left the water point with her herd and the mother came back to retrieve her baby.

Remembering the Kings of Namiri Plains: The Tragic End of Snyggve and Tryggve, Iconic Lions of Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is one of the most biodiverse areas in the world, home to some of the most magnificent creatures on the planet. But with beauty and diversity comes loss and tragedy, and the recent news of the death of Snyggve and Tryggve, two of the most impressive lions on Namiri Plains, has left a deep void in the animal kingdom.

They were iconic lions, having conquered pride after pride and sired many cubs. Their presence was always felt, and their roars could be heard from miles away.

The Tragic Loss of Blondie: Another Oxford-Tracked Lion Killed by Trophy Hunters

In a chilling repeat of history, another lion carefully studied and GPS-tracked by Oxford University researchers has been killed by a trophy hunter in Zimbabwe. The lion, affectionately known as Blondie, was part of a long-term conservation study in Hwange National Park—a name that may sound familiar to those who remember the death of Cecil the Lion in 2015. This new tragedy highlights the ongoing dangers faced by even the most closely monitored wildlife, and the urgent need for stronger protections around national parks and conservation areas. Who Was Blondie? Blondie was a magnificent, five-year-old male lion, tracked by the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WildCRU) of Oxford University. Recognized for his striking appearance and dominant presence, Blondie played a crucial role in the social structure of his pride. His GPS collar was not just a research tool—it was a symbol of hope, intended to safeguard him from harm by signaling his monitored status. Sadly, that did not stop wh...

Lion Poaching Crisis in Botswana 2025

In recent months, there has been a troubling rise in lion poaching incidents near the Moremi Delta area in Botswana, particularly around the town of Maun. Although less than 20% of poached lions’ remains are detected by authorities, the number of cases is increasing steadily. Poachers primarily target lion heads, paws, and skins, which are sold for use in traditional medicine and rituals known locally as muthi . This illegal activity not only threatens the survival of Botswana’s lion populations but also impacts local communities economically. Ecotourism, a major source of income, suffers when iconic wildlife species disappear. Conservation groups are intensifying efforts to combat poaching, working alongside local communities to raise awareness and implement stricter patrols. The cultural demand for lion parts underscores the complex challenges of balancing tradition with wildlife protection. Without urgent action, the majestic lions of Botswana risk becoming casualties of human gre...
