One of our activities was a visit to Wild is Life a wildlife conservation organization that rehabilitates and “rewilds” orphaned and injured elephants and other animals.
A baby elephant that was rescued after being orphaned.
A Kudu
Giraffes and impalas roaming the grounds.
We had never heard of a Pangolin before learning about them at Wild is Life. It is an ant eater with scaly exterior armor made of keratin (like fingernails). The tongue is as long as the body so it can search in ant hills for food. Unfortunately it is endangered as there is a market for the scales similar to a Rhino’s horns.
Johnny is one of two Pangolin caretakers who look after this one named Marimba full time.
High Tea is served as we sit on the veranda watching the wildlife.
Fancy!
