Description
Zuri is a playful baby African elephant who loves nothing more than exploring, chasing things, and swinging his trunk around in delight. Still too young to fully understand how useful it is, he finds endless amusement in it. But behind his joyful curiosity is a deep fear—of people with guns. He once saw them kill his auntie for her tusks and worries constantly about losing his mother too, knowing he wouldn’t survive alone. Like all African elephants, Zuri is part of a close-knit herd led by a wise matriarch, and though he’s cared for by many loving females, his mother is his lifeline. Elephants like Zuri are vital to their ecosystems, digging water holes and spreading seeds, but threats like poaching, habitat loss, and drought are pushing them to the brink—leaving young calves like him vulnerable and scared in a world that's rapidly changing.
