MACADAMIA'S RESCUE STORY

Macadamia was a part of the largest group of elephants rescued by Wildlife SOS. In 2015, four elephants were extricated from a circus in Maharashtra and brought to the Wildlife SOS Elephant Conservation and Care Centre in Mathura. These four elephants together are now called the ‘Nut Herd’. Macadamia is the oldest one in the herd. 

Extremely wary of his new surroundings, Macadamia would not allow any veterinarian or caregiver near him initially. As time passed, Macadamia realised that he had left behind the humans who had tortured him to perform for a clapping audience. He is tended to with love and care in a place that he has come to trust. Macadamia enjoys spending time with himself in his spacious enclosure, where he indulges in relaxing dust baths and basking under the sun.
