Apart from snoozing under trees, did you know that elephants also like to sleep on banks of soft dirt? Our Head of Field Operations, David Daballen, made this fun discovery on a dusty road through Samburu National Reserve. Check it out in this brief film by @janewynyard

If at first you don’t succeed...try again! WATCH as this determined baby elephant tries to climb out of a ditch in Samburu National Reserve. Luckily mum comes to the rescue and with a little support, the young calf manages to make it out. Footage: Jane Wynyard/Save the Elephants

You put your left foot in and your left foot out! This young calf from the Artists was having a wonderful time tearing around the savanna in Samburu National Reserve recently. Photos: @janewynyard / STE

Keeping an eye on her small bundle of joy was the baby’s mum, beautiful Rodin (pictured). We wonder what sort of artist this youngster will turn out to be? Photos: @janewynyard / STE #elephant #babyelephant #conservation #kenya #africa #samburunationalreserve

Cool shots by @janewynyard of one of our study elephants having a dust bath in Samburu National Reserve. Dust baths help elephants keep cool and this elephant is lucky to have enormous ears that not only help her stay cool but also distribute the dust all over her body.

Our friends at Reteti have just sent us this photo of Lomunyak (Lucky) - the young calf that was rescued recently. Reteti says he’s doing well, his wounds are patched up, he’s drinking milk from his bottle and following the other elephants around. Thanks for your well wishes!

WATCH how members of the Royals family investigate the skull of Shaka - a 23 year old bull who died of natural causes in the reserve almost 2 years ago. Elephants are known to mourn their dead but little had been unknown about these interactions until now. Footage: @janewynyard

A recent study, published in Primates, led by @ShifGold at @sdzglobal and STE’s @GeorgeWittemyer shows that elephants display patterns of behaviour towards their dead, regardless of the strength of former relationships with the deceased individual.

An elephant calf has been named Lomunyak (‘Lucky' in Maa language) after surviving what appears to be a lion attack, becoming separated from his mum and nearly drowning in a river in Northern Kenya. Read more here: bit.ly/2KDCUgr Photo: Jane Wynyard / Save the Elephants
