Dedicated keepers at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust's Nairobi Elephant Nursery in Kenya protect baby Shukuru from the cold and rain, and the risk of pneumonia, with a custom-made raincoat.

Several artificial waterholes that have been placed along these riverbeds are a magnet for wildlife and Leeudril is one such location. The killing of other predators eliminates competition for prey and at the same time also provides calories, so is doubly beneficial.
