Vance and Trump learned from Renee Good’s murder and have pushed their messaging toward fraud in Minnesota and Tim Walz being the “real reason” for the protests, avoiding saying much about Alex Pretti.
Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem have continued lying straight to our face.

Post-breakfast naps are a favorite around here. Maia and Guille are pros at standing snoozes, and today Bambi joined in too—heavy eyelids, shady break, then off to the pond. 💚 Read more: https://globalelephants.org/sunday-smile-bambi-the-sleepyhead/

The elephant equivalent of a stone in your shoe. Except every step was agony – and without treatment, it would have killed him.
An old spear wound had healed, but debris was trapped under the footpad. Our pilot spotted him limping. Our vet team did the rest.

Some days, there’s nothing quite so relaxing as a gentle sanctuary rain. Add to that the sound of elephant ears flapping and, of course, Bambi’s low rumbles, and you’re almost ready for a nap. Here, we’ve caught Bambi, Maia, and Guillermina in a little bit of a drowsy moment.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

Between the Athi and Mtito Rivers, our Kaluku Neonate Nursery is a sanctuary for the youngest, most vulnerable orphaned elephants. Kaluku is more than a nursery, it’s the start of a second chance at life for elephants like Korbessa, Toto, Mwinzi, and Natibu: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/r/kaluku-herd

Much of Muwingu’s story remains a mystery, but one thing is clear: she’s tough. It took three weeks of gentle persistence before she finally let her Keepers into her stockade. Today, she’s fully immersed in the Nairobi herd, forging bonds that will carry her all the way back to the wild: bio/muwingu

It's weirdly difficult to remember that Trump's popular vote margin was /less/ than Hillary's in 2016. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Trump got in 2024 and Trump surrogates all under-performed in congressional races.
This is not a mandate, I don't get why it is being portrayed that way.

In 2016, the SWT team found a female elephant calf lying on her side atop a mound of earth that had been dug out of a water pan. She seemed just moments away from death. Today, eight years down the line, she's grown into an elegant and much loved member of the Ithumba herd: swt.bio/malima

This King of the Jungle was found injured in Amboseli National Park, likely wounded by a buffalo. Thanks to a swift report from the KWS patrol team, our SWT/KWS Amboseli Vet Unit was able to step in, treat his injuries, and give him the best chance of recovery.
