IAS officer Supriya Sahu, known for her wildlife advocacy, recently shared a touching video on X. The clip captures baby elephants taking a stroll with their mahouts at Theppakadu Elephant Camp in Tamil Nadu.
Sahu explains in the caption that the camp is caring for three calves recently found abandoned or orphaned, highlighting their vulnerability without their mother’s milk. She praises the seven dedicated keepers who treat the calves as their own children, providing them with 24/7 care.
Sahu mentions the support from an expert committee comprising three members from the Tamil Nadu government for scientific management of the calves.
Netizens React:
Commenters on the post expressed admiration for the initiative, with one user describing it as a “Fantastic initiative” and another finding it “The most sweetest thing to see in the morning.”
Situated in the peaceful Mudumalai National Park, the camp offers a unique experience for nature enthusiasts and wildlife buffs.
