Naming Ellie the Elephant
The abandoned elephant was two years old when he came to the Thula Thula Private Game Reserve in Zululand, South Africa. He was given two names by the rehabilitation team: Ubuntu and Ellie. He quickly captured everyone’s heart, and everyone knew they had to help him.

The first thing the team had to do was give Ellie a thorough health assessment to determine whether he had any ailments or unobvious injuries. Then, they would be able to consider the best course of action to take. Little did they know that this would lead to the root of his problem and uncover why he was abandoned in the first place.
