On an ordinary autumn fall day at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya, staff and caretakers were going about their daily schedule when three unexpected visitors showed up on the doorsteps. Yatta, an 18-year-old ex-orphan elephant of the Orphans Project at the trust, brought her newborn baby boy along with her firstborn daughter to surprise those who took care of the mother so many years earlier.
