Cutest Elephant Calf Rescued After Poaching Attack

AN INJURED baby elephant is saved by a heroic rescue team after being caught in a poacher's snare and attacked with a spear. The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT) was called to save the orphaned animal, named Simotua, in June, after he had been left to die in Kenya's 15,000 acre Rumuruti Forest. The one year old elephant was suffering from a large spear wound to his skull and had a deadly snare wrapped around his leg – both of which were potentially life-threatening.
