Baby’s First Morning at Sanctuary

June 21, 2026

 

During her first morning at sanctuary, Baby leaves the barn and starts to explore her habitat. She’s had a couple of mini explorations this morning, stepping out of the barn and back in again, which is just perfect. She’s tired from her trip, but acclimating very well, and in her curiosity, she’s starting to learn what life is like at Elephant Sanctuary Brazil.

 

We will post more on Baby soon. Thank you for following along.

P.S.: If you’d like to be part of Baby’s New Beginning, send her a Welcome Home Basket or become her EleGuardian.

    Baby is adorable, wearing a grass hat and blanket. She is inspecting and trying out the wonders of her new home. Welcome home sweetie.🥰

    Baby appears to be wearing a signature ESB hay “hat” in the video, so seems to be fitting right in. 😃🐘

    Is she used to contact with her other caregivers, are people? She seems to want to be close to you. But she’s a brave one. She’s just right out there going for it. I’m so happy for her. I can’t wait till she realizes this is her life from now on. But the most exciting part will be her meeting the other ladies. But all in the right time. Thanks again you guys for all you do.

      She had one caregiver that she was particularly close with, but so far she’s been fine with her care team but not overly affectionate.
