What is Kuchi and Why is it Important for Elephants?

Kuchi is a specially prepared wrap ball made to ensure elephants get their essential nutrition and medication. It’s filled with rice, wheat, chickpeas, molasses, and sometimes medicines, vitamins, or digestive powder, all carefully wrapped in straw (hay), green grass, or both.

These balls are designed to cater to an elephant’s large appetite. They sat around 7-10% of their body weight.When given plain hay, elephants often toss aside the upper parts, but Kuchi cleverly mixes food they love with nutrients and medicines they need, encouraging them to consume everything. This thoughtful preparation not only supports their health and well-being but also makes it easier for caregivers to administer medicines without stress.

A little effort in preparation goes a long way for these gentle giants!

We’re thrilled to announce that Sita, our beloved elephant, has given birth to a baby boy! After a challenging three days of labor, which brought Sita immense pain, she welcomed her little one on October 13th at 10 AM. Thanks to our dedicated team and timely treatments, both mom and baby are doing well.

The baby is the son of wild bull Govinda. Although he arrived a bit early and is slightly underweight, he’s healthy, active, and has begun drinking milk! Sita is taking wonderful care of him, and he’s already showing his playful spirit.

Thank you for your support during this journey!

If we can’t educate everyone, let’s start with one.
Meet Aakash, who initially left his study wanted to become a mahout at our camp or work elsewhere due to family issues. But we somehow convinced him and contributed to pursue education. Now, he’s not only studying but also contributing to our camp activities. Every child deserves a chance to learn and thrive.Thank you Kam for your help.

MEET RAMU GAJ

Ramu is a magnificent male elephant who used to be a symbol of love, calmness, and sweetness. However, for the last eight years, he has been exhibiting aggressive behavior that has left him chained and isolated from his natural habitat.

This sudden change in Ramu’s behavior has been attributed to various factors, including the loss of his habitat, changes in his diet, and the lack of adequate care and attention. These factors have contributed to his current state of aggression, which is not only detrimental to his well-being but also poses a risk to the people around him.

We are deeply concerned about Ramu’s situation. We strongly believe that he deserves to live in an environment that is conducive to his physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

To help Ramu, we need the support of the community and concerned individuals who are willing to contribute towards his rehabilitation. We are seeking to work closely with animal experts and veterinarians to develop a comprehensive plan that will help Ramu overcome his aggression and regain his calm and loving nature.

Our plan includes providing Ramu with a suitable habitat, a proper diet, and access to medical care and attention. We will also work on building a positive relationship with him through training and enrichment activities, which will help him overcome his aggression and rekindle his natural instincts.

In conclusion, Ramu is a handsome and majestic elephant who needs our help. We must work together to ensure that he receives the care and attention he needs to overcome his aggression and regain his calm and loving nature.

Let’s come together and make a difference in Ramu’s life.

Meet Shuvakali: A story of pregnant elephant

Meet Shuvakali, the young elephant whose journey is unfolding in the heart of Elephant Care Nepal. Shuva, meaning auspicious, perfectly expresses the positive transformation she has undergone.

At 18 years old, Shuvakali is not only a picture of beauty but also carries the miracle of life within her, as she gracefully navigates the magical journey of a 22-month pregnancy. The father-to-be is the wild bull Govinda, adding an element of wild charm.

When we first met Shuvakali, she sometimes acted a bit aggressive. But over time, we noticed a change – she started being more normal and loving. Maybe it’s because she’s pregnant! 🐘💖

Elephant Care Nepal envisions a future filled with joy for Shuvakali and her soon-to-arrive baby. Their mission is to provide a life without the burden of rides, allowing the duo to bask in the happiness they truly deserve.

Now, Elephant Care Nepal is reaching out to you, for your support in this noble cause.

We’re ready to move Shuvakali to a new rented place, and we need your support! If you or your organization can help provide her basic needs and healthcare facilities, we’d be incredibly grateful. We’re also looking for vets and vet techs to guide us in taking care of Shuvakali during her pregnancy and after her baby arrives.

We want Shuvakali’s baby to have a different kind of life, not overshadowed by elephant rides. Let’s give them both a happy, ride-free future!

Elephant Care Nepal cannot achieve this alone. Your support is the key to Shuvakali’s brighter future.
Whether it’s through donations, spreading the word, or volunteering your time, every contribution counts in making Shuvakali’s dream of a happy and peaceful life a reality.

Join us on this journey of change. Together, let’s create a haven for Shuvakali and her baby, proving that with love and support, every elephant can rewrite their story and embark on a new chapter filled with hope.

The sound of pure satisfaction! Rupa’s rhythmic munching from this unique angle is oddly soothing. Elephant Fact: Elephants use their strong molars to chew food thoroughly, creating distinct munching sounds as they process up to 150kg of food daily! #elephanteating #elephantcarenepal #elephant #helpelephants

A good body scratch is a must after a bath and is followed by a dust bath Elephants, like Rupa, scratch their bodies against trees, rocks, or other surfaces to remove dirt, dead skin, and any parasites clinging to their skin. This behavior not only keeps them clean but also provides relief from itching. Afterward, they throw dust or mud on their damp skin during a dust bath. This forms a natural protective layer, shielding them from sunburn, insect bites, and moisture loss. It’s an essential part of their grooming and skin care routine! #observeelephantbath #elephantcarenepal #elephant #thingstodoinchitwan #chitwan #chitwannationalpark
