I just got this story from their newsletter! So sad for Tytan to lose his mom.
Me too!😢 I can’t imagine what he felt like, and what it took to finally move away from mom.
I am glad he has a zebra friend, tho. It never ceases to amaze me how “baby” animals can bond!💙
From their newsletter:
It must be said that Tytan does not have the same affection for the orphaned elephants. He gives them a wide berth, greeting their presence with his signature huffs and puffs of indignation. However, Mzinga — our famous rhino lover — is giving the friendship her best shot. On several occasions, she even dodged the Keepers and snuck back to the stockades so she could get to know Tytan. Unfazed by the frosty welcoming she received, Mzinga remained by the rhino’s gate until he calmed down and allowed her to lay her trunk along his body. Perhaps they will be proper friends in the fullness of time!
Aww, I hope they become besties.
Elephants are good people.
Just awwww. So sorry Tytan and Notty lost their moms but now they have each other and the awesome keepers.
