Treats like this neglected 'begging' elephant has never seen before! You deserve it, sweet Manu. youtu.be/rsBrDz-BPVw

What an amazing sight! Manu gets his first hydrotherapy session. We don't know whether to cheer or cry. 😪😄 #elephants #elephantrescue #beggingelephants Have you read about our new begging elephant initiative? wildlifesos.org/ending-the-b...

Manu has reached our Elephant Hospital, a place where he will know only kindness and care, not cruelty.

As the sun is setting at our Elephant Hospital, Manu is getting closer! He has fared well on the journey, and we've been learning more about his personality. He has a real disdain for papaya. He ate two pieces and threw the third and then made an angry huff sound about it 😂 #elephants

Manu update - He's in the ambulance and on his way to our elephant hospital! So sorry for the sporadic updates ... most of our small team is in the field. They will drive throughout the night and rest as Manu needs a break, as well as for fuel and coffee. #elephants Donate here > wildifesos.org/manu
