Daba loves his pellets so much, he'll even steal them from a blind black rhino. Maxwell has lived at our Nairobi Nursery for nearly twenty years. Daba has intentions that go beyond salutations, but despite his outright thievery, Maxwell doesn't seem to mind!

Moon nursing at our Ithumba Reintegration Unit, with Kitirua keeping watch. You can tell Kitirua by her ragged ears. Rescued in 2011 from Amboseli as a tiny two-year-old, around the same time we were raising new mum Melia – the two of them grew up together and both now roam wild in Tsavo.

Bedtime for Bumpy! He approaches his room at a sprint, then – one little whir of the ears later – flops onto his mattress. A day spent cavorting in the water is tiring work, and our little hippo is more than ready for a good night's sleep. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/bumpy
