World Elephant Day Is Marked In Sri Lanka.
Elephants go back to their transit home on August 12, 2023, at Elephant Transit Home, Udawalawa, Sri Lanka. The Udawalawe Elephant Transfer Home is a facility within Udawalawe National Park in Sri Lanka. The Elephant Transit was established in 1995 by the Sri Lanka Department of Wildlife Conservation. Its primary objective is to rehabilitate orphaned elephant calves for ultimate release back into the wild. There are normally between 40 and 60 orphaned elephants, and visitors can watch them being fed from the safety of a viewing platform about 8 metres away at one of the four daily feeding sessions, held every three hours from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)
