Ramu has been a part of the Wildlife SOS family for just 15 days, but has made himself an inseparable part of our lives!
This young pachyderm is so full of unmatched enthusiasm, that despite his severely affected limbs, one will find him walking around his enclosure, lifting his trunk to greet his neighbours. Ramu has been healing very well with us, and we thought of compiling his journey for you to witness it for yourself!
