An elephant calf has 5 liters of milk during a feed and can finish the quantity in less than 2 minutes. The calves at the center are fed up to 8 times a day depending on their age and weaning schedule.

Playing in the nursery

Playing in the nursery
Playtime encourages bonding between the calves. It is this bonding that will enable them to behave as a herd during subsequent stages of reintegration.
