This is Murka. She is a three and a half year old orphan I met in Tsavo East, Kenya, at The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust's Ithumba unit. She was playful and took a liking to me. Sadly, her mother was the victim of poachers and Murka was discovered with a spear lodged in her head, which left the scar that remains.
Here I am pretending to have my own trunk. To foster Murka or one of the many orphans like her go here.
