Nairobi - They say love knows no bounds, and that is definitely true of an abandoned elephant and giraffe who have formed a bond after being rescued in Nairobi.
Baby giraffe Kiko was brought to a wildlife trust in the Nairobi National Park after being found helpless and alone by the Kenya Wildlife Service in Samburu. At one month old he was too small to sleep in the giraffe stable, but was housed next to the elephants, where he struck up a friendship with fellow orphan Loboito, a boisterous three-week-old calf.
Neither of the friends would have survived in the wild as they are still solely reliant on their mother’s milk, but thanks to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Orphanage they are being given a new chance at life.
As Kiko strolls through the orphanage, Loboito can be seen trotting excitedly behind, desperate to keep up with his spotted companion.
