BAGO: Baby elephant Ayeyar Sein trumpets impatiently as a vet prepares her milk bottle and walks cautiously, her front left leg in a splint made of bamboo and cloth bandages.
The four-month-old calf was rescued from a hunter’s snare trap in the forest of Myanmar’s southwest Ayeyarwaddy region last month and is now being looked after by staff at the Wingabaw elepant sanctuary, an hour’s drive northeast of Yangon.
