Background: From a very young age, Zara was subjected to abuse and neglect as a ‘begging’ elephant. When Wildlife SOS decided to bring her to the Wildlife SOS Elephant Hospital Campus, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown massively delayed her arrival. As soon as relaxations were levied, Zara’s journey towards the facility resumed, where medical care and attention awaited her. | READ MORE ABOUT ZARA
