This is a story of what the power of loving care did for an orphaned elephant named Emily. She was taken in, after losing her mother, by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya. Defenseless on her own, baby Emily was nurtured in this safe environment, until she was ready to be released back into the wild.
She was well-prepared to live out the remainder of her life as an adult. The caretakers were sad to see Emily go, but felt they had given her the chance she needed to eventually have a family of her own, of which she had been deprived, due to the loss of her family at such a young age.
One day, on December 23, 2014, an astoundingly heartwarming and unusual event occurred. The caretakers of the wildlife trust, who never thought they would lay eyes on their beloved Emily again, were shocked at what occurred. Without any human enticement or help, Emily appeared at the place where she had been cared for when she so badly needed it.
The reason for her appearance? She came to give birth to her calf amongst the people who, not only saved her, but brought her up to be an elephant who could survive on her own. The birth of her baby daughter, Emma, is captured in this beautiful video.
Not only were her caretakers at the Trust deeply moved that she found her way back for this momentous occasion in her life, but the herd gathered around her, to help her and her sweet newborn calf, after the birth. The miracle of birth is always something wonderful to behold.
