Baby Elephant
The Elephants of Sri Lanka
The Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage was established in 1975 after a variety of locations leading to their current one in Pinnawela. Starting with a herd of only five baby elephants, the orphanage has expanded to house over 60 elephants with breeding contributing 23 baby elephants to the herd since its conception.
There are thought to be roughly 3000 elephants in Sri Lanka, but with the constant land development they are being squeezed into smaller and smaller patches of habitat. These cramped conditions often lead to man and elephant living much closer than they usually would, creating problems when man or beast overstep their boundaries. Elephants are shot and killed because of ruined crops and aggressive behaviour brought on by this invasion of their territory and can be left wounded, or can leave orphans behind. It is here that Pinnewala will take in and nurture these animals, whether it is raising baby elephants left behind or helping those injured in confrontation.
The orphanage itself is funded by the government in a bid to help and care for these majestic creatures and has more than 100 members of staff, each doting on these gentle giants. A small entrance fee is required, but every penny goes towards the upkeep of the elephants, and with every baby elephant drinking 25 litres of milk a day and each adult getting through approximately 75 kg of green matter a day, plus 2kg of a food mixture, they need all the help they can get.
The day starts at 8am with the babies being given their milk and the herd roaming the acreage. At 11am it’s time to visit the river for a wash and some fun and games. The walk down will take you pass various stalls and shops selling souvenirs, usually elephant themed. After bath time the herd returns to the site and work for a few hours moving logs and other such jobs before returning to the river for another two hour bath. After being tethered for the night, the elephants and given their evening feed before bedding down for the night.
There are two elephants at the orphanage that stand out from the rest. The first is Raja, an old elephant who is blind in both eyes and the second is Sama who only has one front foot after stepping on a landmine in the North of Sri Lanka. Without the Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage it is unlikely either would be alive today.
A visit to this sanctuary will make your Sri Lanka holiday truly memorable, an experience that brings you within reach of these beautiful animals and lets you play a part in looking after the orphanages current inhabitants and the generations after them.
