What to do when a pachyderm comes knocking at your door? That’s the question that the owner of a Zululand game reserve was faced with when a surprise visitor, a baby elephant, showed up at her door looking for its mommy.

According to a report on our sister site the baby elephant ‘Tom’ came knocking on the  door of Françoise Malby-Anthony, owner of the exclusive Thula Thula Game Reserve on Monday night.

The week-old baby elephant had apparently separated from the herd and had been wandering for almost 18 hours in the  wild. This touchg story had a fittingly happy ending, with Tom finally reunited with the herd. You can read the full story by Ronelle Ramsamy here.
