Meet Moses, the orphaned baby elephant raised by a human mom

Meet Moses, the orphaned baby elephant raised by a human mom

for Moses, where you can keep up with his activities. For an orphan found abandoned and near death, he’s doing exceptionally well — he did have to have hernia surgery shortly after Webb brought him home, because his umbilical cord was damaged at birth, but he’s slowly putting weight back on after losing a lot due to stress. In a few weeks he’ll even start eating solid food instead of being fed specialty formula from a bottle (more than six gallons a day!). In a few years, he’ll start living outside, partly as a transition to living in the wild, and partly because he won’t fit in the door. And when he’s 5, Webb will reintroduce him to a wild herd, maybe in the park where he was discovered. Until then, his human (and dog and kitty) herd is with him 24 hours a day.
