Elephant of the Week 21 August 2023: Khamla

News from Elephant Nature Park

Where does one begin to speak about the elephant named Khamla !?!

Khamla is the beating heart of the largest family group at Elephant Nature Park. There are 9 elephants who foster her care and well-being, with a mother Mae Baitoey and 2 Nannies, always doting on her.

She is a most fortunate young lady to have been rescued at the age of 4 and brought under the care of Save Elephant Foundation. Much has changed since her arrival in 2015 and to see her thrive inside such a wonderfully committed family group has been nothing short of inspiring.

Khamla’s confidence and continual curiosity was born within the bonds of caring approvals and stern guidance from the family who embraces her. She is loved and we at Elephant Nature Park, of course, adore her !

Although NamThip is finally in her new sanctuary home, her health issues are quite pronounced. Our veterinary team promptly conducted further detailed health checks on her, including additional blood tests, stool sampling, and urine checks. Today, we also conducted an X-ray of her left hind leg, which seems to be problematic for her.

After a long journey in excess of 24 hours, with a soft sand bed ready, Namthip was able to sleep for possibly the first instance in her life, without chains on her legs. Sleeping freely, with no rope around her neck and no one stood over her giving orders, holding a hook, or making threats.

At the age of 87+, today marks the day we rescue her from the elephant camp where she still works tirelessly. Despite her frail physical condition—thin, with just ribs remaining, dry skin, hazy eyes, and lost teeth—she deserves a chance at freedom and a better quality of life.
