    Rescued baby ellie beats the odds with the help of his canine companion

    Everyone loves a canine companion, and this baby elephant is no exception! The tiny pachyderm arrived at the Thula Thula Rhino Orphanage in South Africa after being rejected by his herd. Critically ill, the youngster had very little chance of survival. But thanks to round-the-clock care from sanctuary staff, and a bit of help from a special canine companion, the baby elephant is on the road to a full recovery. http://www.earthorganization.org/projects/rhino-orphanage/ https://www.facebook.com/rhinoorphanage

But resources are lacking at this zoo in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the locals must catch the crocs with whatever equipment they can find. Watch the release of these zoo-born reptiles back into the wild – which is also a proud conservation first for the Katanga Province.
