Episode 4 of 5

Series about orphaned baby elephants at the David Shelrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya. Jonathan is in Tsavo, where an orphan is struggling with debilitating painful joints.

Jonathan Scott is in Tsavo where one of the older orphans, Mweiga, is struggling with debilitating painful joints and a possible heart condition. The keepers are trying her on a new cocktail of vitamins and supplements, but will her medicine work?

At the Nairobi nursery, it is time for the mini-matriarch Lualeni to leave her beloved Makena and join the older orphans at the Ithumba release site. But Lualeni does not want to go. Michaela Strachan follows the heart-rending separation. And back in Tsavo, one of the older orphans goes missing.
