Join co-founders Kartick Satyanarayan and Geeta Seshamani at Tour For Tusks 2026 in Florida for powerful stories and a special short film on Bani’s journey. Jacksonville, FL– March 7th St. Petersburg, FL – March 13th Fort Lauderdale, FL- March 15th Register: news.wildlifesos.org/tour-for-tus...

Two years ago, Bani was paralyzed, alone, and facing grave injuries after a train collision. Now, Bani is full of opinions. From demanding her porridge and negotiating acupuncture sessions with bananas and expert-level photobombing, she’s grown into one of the most loved residents in our care.

There’s some excitement in the air… what could it be? 👀 Tomorrow is a very special day at Wildlife SOS. (Hint: it’s all about baby Bani) 🐘 #elephants #rescued

Winter + water? Absolutely not…unless you’re Zara. One of those rare winter afternoons when the sun pops out and water warmed up — Zara was ready. She hopped right in for 30 minutes of pool time: lounging, splashing, dipping. Meanwhile, Arya in the background = all of us, staying away from water.

As temperatures dip, we strengthen specialized care for our #rescued #elephants and sloth bears, many of whom are geriatric. Our veterinarians and caregivers closely monitor every animal in our care, adjusting treatment based on age, medical history and individual needs. youtu.be/71g69ahxtRc

Winter afternoons are Arya’s cue for slow walks, familiar scents, and the joy of discovering hidden treats, soaking in the pleasant warmth of the winter sun. Thank you to all of our supporters who make these afternoons possible for Arya. #lifetimecare #elephants wildlifesos.org/our-work/ele...

Jimmy just celebrated his first rescueversary at Wildlife SOS with all his favourite treats.

Now he's thriving under our care. #lifetimecare

#LissyUpdate 1,250 kilometres. Bitter cold and fog. Two days on the road to our rescue center During transport, the team checked in every few hours, watching her closely, making sure her body stayed warm and steady, with frequent pauses in travel to give her the time and quiet she needed. #rescued
