Maktao's Rescue | Sheldrick Trust

- It seems Maktao has always known how to get what he wants, beginning with his rescue in July 2017 when he followed our pilot, who had been dispatched to rescue him, down the airstrip, as if asking for help.
Maktao is currently receiving round the clock care at our Nairobi Nursery as he begins a long journey back to the wild. See the moment it all began by watching his dramatic helicopter rescue here.
Read his full rescue story here: www.thedswt.org/maktao
Established in 1977, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) operates the world’s most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program, rescuing and hand-rearing orphaned elephants and other animals that have lost their mothers, all too often as a result of human activity. But we do much more than this. Through our Aerial, Anti-Poaching and Mobile Veterinary Units, we safeguard the natural environment and provide immediate assistance to wild animals in need. We also secure irreplaceable wilderness areas so that animals will always have space to roam and work with local partners and communities to ensure people and wildlife can live alongside one another.

He’s beautiful! ❤️😍 They all are ❤️🙏 Thank you so much for everything you do for these precious darlings ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
The sweetest viewing is running baby elephants....second sweetest is baby elephants in a mud bath....lol...Thank you for your hard work...dedication, focus and love for the elephants....we love you all as well...THANK YOU!
Tears for his loss 😣 then tears of joy at the welcome commitee!! He is a boy alright lol. Love the herd activity. This baby is not backward in coming forward x x
Love that mini mums Mbegu & Godoma are always on hand to care for the newcomers. Much love and thanks to all for rescuing Maktao xxx
Impressed with the quick turnaround. The calf was first sighted the day before. The helicopter is earning it's keep. Rescues take as long as they need to. Good choice in using the helicopter saving valuable time for this precious bundle of life. So happy to be rescued and given a second chance. Andy did a great job not just as a helicopter pilot but as being mum to Maktao.
What a social, spirited little guy! Love him. Love the keepers and the organization. Great job, people!
I love it when he stops the herd,and turns around,and they all stop ,he thinks he is a tough guy,king of the jungle in the making
I’ve had Maktao adopted as a birthday present, the best ever 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
My wife and I sponsored Maktao for our 5th anniversary. It's just a small token of appreciation for all of the wonderful people that do amazing work at DSWT. Everyone who watches these videos should donate if they are able :)
Thank you, and May God bless you with joy and good health.
Merci pour votre générosité ! Soyez heureux ! 😊. Amitiés de Montpellier France. A.
Повезло потеряшке!в хорошие руки попал и в семью себе подобных!спасибо всем,кто занимается таким благородным делам!молодцы власти,что берегут свой животный мир!
Thank you for all that you do! Maktao is one of our adopted “children” and we appreciate the monthly updates! ❤️🐘
God bless all you hard working keepers. From the Fiji islands 🇫🇯 🇫🇯 🇫🇯 with respect.
Fostering him!
I think it's sweet how the other elephants come to see about the little thing.
The work of Sheldrick trust is invaluable. It's very expensive to provide air support, land resources, staff so please considering adopting one of these wee babies.
Beautiful sight, him rolling around in the mud! He's got such a strong personality, I would love to meet him
He's hilarious. It's terrible that he has been orphaned, but uplifting to know that he is now in such good hands and has such a big personality. I shouldn't have, but I couldn't stop laughing at his attitude and his games with the keepers.
He has beautiful spunk! > playing shovey-face as well as kissy-face. :) Did you notice when he boldly turned around on a dime that the entire herd stopped? He will grow into a FINE and very powerful Bull one day, and all the Elephants will respect him! They already do! :)
Yes, I noticed. It really made me laugh!
I've watched this video 100 times.
How Many Baby Elephant's have Those Strong Arms Carried... All the way to Adulthood.. THANK YOU!!

He got head on into the mud bath. Good to see him enjoy himself.
Omg! He is beyond adorable!
Strong personality .the litte elephant ...great job ..thanks ..god bless you all..I love You
I love Mgbue, she is perfect to comfort that baby.
This was the best😀 I laughed at him pushing his keeper around. This is going to be one of those huge bulls that kicks butts and takes names to get the females😄
God bless you all..🐘🐘🐘❤❤❤🙏🙏
This BABY HAS GREAT ENERGY! I hope he gets some of that rich color from mud wallow:-)
Absolutely PRECIOUS
Girls will love him! Hehehehe! My baby boy!

GOD bless all involved in rescuing & caring for these so unique creatures & all other creatures being helped by such devotion, the big five so so important, as are all God's creatures
Maktao is so beautiful, thanks.
Lots of love
So cool, great work guys you are very special people top stuff
So beautiful to see how the older elephants accept the new one. Who said they are animals. They are humans and we are the animals who separate these children from their families.
This is great work OMG
Thanks be to all those giving a hand
Wonderful salvation! Wonderful strong spirit/Will, hopefully excellent prognosis! Much beloved! Thank God for nannies and loving hearts! :)
Hello fellow supporters of DSWT. Can we share this widely on facebook and elsewhere? I do not understand why this channel does not have more subscribers and views. To me it is the best thing on youtube. Please join me in adopting this little one. If you cannot adopt, you can have a huge impact by getting more views and subscribers. This organization is consistently awesome and it is my go to channel to feel optimistic about this world.
I just posted this to Google+, as I have with others of their videos in preceding months. You're right > DSWT viewers need to help widen the viewing audience, and the support base > it's very important.

Beautiful! Thanks Heroes!,
Maktao my adopted Baby 💖🌠
So cool!
أحسنتم أنا من متابعي أعمالكم لكم مني كل الحب ❤
Ciao Maktao, sono Angela la tua mamma adottiva, che ti vuole TANTO, TANTO BENE. Ho saputo dal diario dei tuoi Keepers, che sei un bravo bambino, rispettoso e sensibile . Ho saputo anche che sei MOLTO FREDDOLOSO: quando c'è freddoo,cerchi un po' di calore sotto i cappotti dei Keepers e guai mettere i piedi nell'acqua fredda del ruscello!!! Poverino, se hai bisogno di qualche copertina, te la spedisco io. Ora, sei ancora piccolino, poi quando crescerai, sarai forte anche tu e insegnerai ai tuoi figli ad essere forti come te. Maktao, quanto vorrei CONOSCERTI e stare un po' con te. Ti chiedo, per piacere di seguire un po' Kiasa, che a volte, fa la monella.... Ti abbraccio Angela
Maktao and my foster baby Kiasa are roommates and strangely from same area and ofcourse both are friends snd naughty babies🐘🐘
Maktao, insieme a Kiasa è l' altro bimbo adottato. Da poco, sono andati via Mbegu e Godoma, che l'avevano aiutato molto a superare le
ferite del suo animo. Ora, cresce bene e forte e dimostra già di avere un bel caratterino. Io, quando guardo il video, gli faccio sempre tante raccomandazioni.... Vorrei conoscere anche lui e passare un po' di tempo insieme. Gli voglio tanto bene... 💕🐘🐘
Haha! What a mudpuppy!
Woman of Substance I love that word !😊mudpuppy
thank you so very much!!!!
He definitely loves his mud bath!
Ciao Maktao, non ho ancora incominciato il conto alla rovescia, incomincio a Gennaio. Non vedo l'ora di conoscere te e Kiasa. So, che è diventata più brava! Ho saputo che hai una nuova vicina di stanza: Maarifa; mi raccomando, mettila un po' in riga, so che corre sempre, ma poi torna dai Keepers, ai quali si è molto affezionata , come te. Bacini... bacini....
Elephant have evolved right along side of Humans for quite a while in overlapping ranges. So Elephant are a link with our past. Humans didn't evolve alone in isolation. We were part of a bigger system then as now. Unfortunately modern urban human civilization has lost touch with it's natural past and the two fellow traveler's in time have become decoupled.
We could use a reminder of the need to recouple our two species in parallel beneficial relations.
That mud!!!
One day little turtle scared the hell out of this cute baby bull🤣😂
It's SO TOUCHING to see the little lists trunk sticking out from under the blanket covering baby elephant:/
Tried to contact them on info@sheldrickwildlifetrust.org, but the domain does not exist anymore.
In 2017 there were ony two ellies saved! Makta'o and Kiasa. It does not exist any keeper's diary for Januar. Whom did I donate the money???
Now he is a naughty very demanding elle sometime bite the tail of other elles if his demands were not meet.
